You dont have to sandblast, you can just use paint stripper on them and it works just fine. Duplicolor makes wheel paint in a spray can that is pretty durable. I used aviation stripper and black duplicolor and clear on mine.

  • A derogatory term used in reference to people of Asian descent.
    • It is said to have been coined during the Korean war by frontline troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps.
    • The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse.
      • Damn, look at all the zipperheads here, it's like they've just taken over.
