Do you need to strip them at all then! Is the paint on them in good nick and stuck well! if so a good sand should do just fine.

We sanded them and applied some etch primer but it reacted to the old paint

dam, prob wasnt any real need to that either. Can you just resand. but having them blasted is by far the easiest way about it. A good paint stripper may do it though.

Yea my son got started on them,he thought he was doing the right thing. We have a sand blaster so will give it a go when the weather clears,the young fella sand blasted 1 wheel back to bare,so do we etch prime it or not !

If its bare steal or alloy yes you should. if you paint over paint no you dont have to. alloy in particular needs a good etch or primer etch.

Yep dosnt need to be thick to work. You really should prime over the etch as well. Are you useing 2k system or dulon type.

Dulon

For Dulon / Acrylic Lacquer type top coats. The less undercoat the better.
