Spent nearly the entire day stripping down the paint on my wheels and re spraying them. Mounted up some fresh BFGoodrich all terrains (33x10.50r15) to go along with the paint 
.
It took 4 applications of aircraft remover with a scrub and power washing session between each coat to eat through the years of spray paint jobs on the wheels. There were still some small areas with the bottom coat of original paint that refused to come off. Other than that I got them pretty much down to bare metal. I followed up with 2 coats of an adhesion promoter/primer then 3 coats of dupli-color semi gloss engine enamel. My plan is to eventually match the bumpers, grill and various trim to the wheels and go with the late WWII lusterless olive drab on the body.
