Ive got an old set of red tyres with loads of tread left that came on a donor bike that i bought. The previous owner had painted the mag wheels in blue by hand and had unfortunately got a fair old whack on the tyre walls :( ....I was wondering if there was a way of removing the paint? Ive tried paint stripper...albeit b&q's own brand rip off of nitro mors but it hasnt touched them at all?
Can i pretty much presume these are scrap now? :(
