Default Stripping Wheels

Picked up a real nice set of thin spokes without any curb rash for a great price. The clear coat was somewhat weathered though. Stripping it was pretty easy. Got one done today (got to hot out to do any more). I think it came out great! What does everybody do with the inner barrels? Leave them bare or paint them?

I used Klean Strip paint stripper. It worked good. Keep it off you're skin though, it burns pretty good.
