When I had the alloys I bought recon'd I had them sand blasted to get the worst of the paint off. They were then vapour blasted with a mix of glass beads & aluminium oxide to get the smooth finish.

The original paint was very hard and the vapour blaster didn't have the power to get through this quickly.

Cheers

Gus
