Wheel paint Removing

[-EnVus-]

Ok i know a good quick way is to use the air craft paint remover.
My question is has anyone ever used it on a rim while tire was still mounted ?
I ask cause i didn't know if it would ruin the tires or not....

that is some nasty stuff. it goes through plastic like butter. Tires might hold up better...

Why not take it off??......

maybe put a bead of ky jelly/vaseline around the tire to protect it if you must put paint remover with the tire still on. it should wash off pretty easy when you are doing a final scrub down before paint.

If you spray on the KleanStrip Air Craft paint remover onto wheels with tires still mounted you should be fine. I have done it on my own set of wheels. :)

Don't have the funds to pay for having them unmounted them mounted again :(

Thanks yeah i have talked to a few others and it really is a chemical reaction with the metal and paint not other things like Tires,skin etc...
