Default Removing a powder coated finish

Does anyone have input/ideas as to the best way to remove a powder coated finish? I purchased a set of YH rims for my Camaro that are powder coated..they look good, but the color is a little off, and I'd rather repaint them.

Thanks!

Pat

Find someone that can dip or chemical strip them, thats the easiest. You can some times use aircraft paint stripper on them also. Blasting is tuff to do.

We just stripped an intake by using aircraft stripper.

Let me ask a stupid question.... why can't you just paint them the correct color right over the powder coat?
