So someones painted the wheels on my 172 Anthracite, but it's flaking off which makes me think it's been rattled canned badly.
I'd quite like to be able to restore the original silver, is there anything i could use that would soften/remove the coat of Anthrashite without damaging the original finish underneath ?

To be honest with you looking at the bits where it's flaked the original finish looks unmarked.
Dont want to spend money i dont have to as theres things i'd rather get done to it before i worry about wheels.

Surely that would also take out the original paint.

Ah right I didn't realise you were wanting to remove one layer of paint to expose another. Wouldn't have thought that would work very well.
