I don't want to pay $700 or more for something I can do myself for less than $100. I would rather spend the extra $600 on performance upgrades . It is really not hard to paint, I mean I am not a professional, but I can do decent work. The hardest part is just taping off the tire so there is no over spay onto the tires.

Anyway, does anyone know of a solution that will help strip off the protective layer on the rims? Or do I even need to worry about that? That is really my only concern.
