Removing the powdercoat from GMC truck wheels

I have a 2001 GMC truck and the aluminum wheels have powdercoat coming off. Can I remove the powdercoat with out removing the tires? HELP

It sounds like all you need to do is wait a while and the paint will come off for you! 🙂 I'm sure that the paint is beginning to flake in some areas, put a wire wheel on an electric hand grinder, thats what I do. Don't use a drill because you won't get enough rpm to do the job. Make sure and wear goggles ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] or face shield ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] because the little wires like to shoot off and stick to everything. You won't have to remove the tires this way.
