Hi.
I've got an aluminum rim with machined sidewalls, its painted black.
I'd like to get all the paint off and have a polished metal look instead.
I don't have any kind of paint stripping chemicals, but I do have a dremel tool and a bunch of wire brush attachments.

Is there anything about this thats a totally bad idea, or am I good to go?

Also, if I dremel around the seam of the rim is that going to damage its bond?

Would it make any difference if I used a steel wire brush or a brass wire brush?
