That's good info, thanks mate.
I think it's a grit of some sort anyway, I was referring to "sand" as a generic term for blasting.
I started with the paint stripper and it looks like these rims were painted a long time ago coz they are shmick underneath.. hehehhe

Not going to paint them again tho, the TRX rims look�fine when they're bare. �

Depends on the air pressure,�blasting medium used, and length of time blasting occurs on each area.� Sand will erode the paint, then the alloy, so controlling the blasting time will achieve a reasonable finish if you can get it right over the whole job.� The sand blasted finish is actually good looking in my view, and it makes a good surface for another paint job.�You can spin the wheel in a lathe, or on the hub, and machine/polish up the areas that can be repolished.

Lighter blasting media, such as plastic beads may achieve a better finish, quicker.

I have a set of TRX alloy rims that have been painted a couple of times, and I want to try sand blasting the paint off. Tried paint stripper but it's not getting them completely clean.

Does anyone know if sand blasting will damage them at all???

Thanks
