just get some aircraft stripper from like autozone and strip them yourself so you dont have to pay to get them stripped too. thats what i used on my hx's.

the paint is not really the problem

but removing the old powercoating with out damaging the volk engravings is

id rather have some pros do it ..rather than me fuck up because another set will probaly never come again

well the stripper will just loosen up all the stuff that was sprayed on it down to the bare metal. then you just scrub it off.
