Cost to remove clearcoat on High Tech rims?

Anybody have an Idea what it should cost to sandblast...or otherwise remove the clearcoat on High Tech rims. I think the rims look great but a couple of mine are pitted (at least through the clearcoat).

Thanks

it will cost you about $20 if you do it yourself, buy one can of aircraft stripper from autozone for each wheel (they are like $5/can) and go for it , I already polished 3 sets of wheels.

oh wear rubber gloves

Sounds good to me...I had thought of using Napalm Jelly but didn't want to get any on the tires. Besides I don't have a radio to call in the strike....
