    ok...........I got these ma61's from AJPS, and they're sick as and I'm super happy with them except for one thing............they're charcoal. I'm just wondering if someone can tell me how to strip the paint from the wheel

    I searched and this is all I came up with which I plan on using once the paint has been stripped off

    if anyone needs a pic then here it is.



    cheers guys :2thumbs:

    Paint striper. Buy a can from Repco. Some brands of brake cleaner and carb cleaner will get it off also, since it is cheap paint.

    Don't forget to use some clear-coat on it when you've stripped it!
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    paint stripper and a brush is your friend, the septone stuff that supercheap has is good, I've used it a couple of times, just watch out for the smell it f***ing stinks when it's eating away the paint

    I believe its not Charcoal, the proper official toyota/AJPS colour code is "$6 merringtons rattle can black" as seen on such high performance cars as
    Porsche
    Ferrari
    Lamborghini
    T-18's
