Default Help! Trying to get bedliner off rims

I am not happy the way one rim came out. Acetone isn't working. Will paint thinner do the trick??

If you did dupli-color or rustoleum I believe Xylol will do the trick I think it says it on the can somewhere of one of the brands.

You can get it at home depot its like $10 for a jug.

All else fails, sand it. If that fails, sandblast it.

lots of people do it on their wheels. I inquired with my local Line-x if they would do mine but they said they dont as it "could" through off the balance of the wheels. I emphasize on the could, not will.

Why would you pay for someone to do it...

If you want a line-x texture, use raptor liner for $110 kit. You can probably do all 5 rims with less than 2 bottles 2 coats per rim.

It won't through off the balance a few people have done it.

I used dupli-color I am very happy with it. Raptor liner would have been much easier to paint with though.
