you dont want to do it yourself unless you have them professionally stripped as stated.then i would say about 5 hrs per wheel sanding smooth.you will need some kind of tool to get in the corners.too much work.20 hrs on 1 wheel just to get it to look descent is all i could take.

they will be taken to a shop where they will do it.....i do know they will shine beautiful when complete.normally i wouldnt be wasting my time on factory wheels.however with the 19" rays,the light weight is the reason im keeping them.so for $400,i can have some great lookin wheels.i would advise you to let the professionals deal with it or you will be hurting lol.even with aircraft stripper,the paint doesnt come off as you would expect.the 1 wheel i did do is 75% complete.
