GTA clear coat removal?

[deputydawg]

Any suggestions on the best/easiest way to remove the clear coat on a set of GTA wheels? The clear coat is peeling and I would rather just remove it and polish the lip.

Aircraft stripper...you can buy it in a spray can for about $7
This is very powerful stuff. Use caution.

I had to have mine bead blasted. I tried aircraft stripper and it didn't do anything other than make my head hurt. The OE coating is not paint. It's some kind of plastic coating and it's a bitch to get off.
