Well I got some aircraft remover and it stripped off everything! All they need now is a light sanding to clean up the crap from the stripper.

$10 and an hour of work > $45/rim to have them media blasted. lawl

No, it was in a blue and white container called aircraft remover. I think it took about 10 years off my life too. :laughing:

Keep that stuff away from the airport :) It will remove your aircraft.

So you saved yourself some cash, but gave up 10yrs life huh? Sweet! :laughing:

j/k I'm glad you were able to DIY - looking forward to seeing them painted.
