yea need more paint stripper....and to let it sit for longer......get a spatula and scrape the access off when its wet........understand that this process takes a while and u wont do it in 20 minutes....I spent 4 hours on one rim and its still not perfect.....
 
4 hours to take the paint off? I sprayed my wheels 1 time, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shit came off all at one time.

it also depends on the paint on the wheel..
i took about 6 hours when i did my p45r's

and full mirror polishing on p45s will be pretty hard because you are going to have to sand out all the marks from being machined

all i did was strip them with the paint stripper and called it a day..
a clear coat couldnt hurt

Well it was the factory paint/coating on fn01rcs, most likely the same shit. I just sprayed like a whole can on each wheel, and let that shit sit. Came out a little while later and it all just fell off.

I mean't including polishing and sanding and fixing imperfections in the wheel.......... My main point was that its not a short process so dont give up....to the op

You have to cover it in Stripper a good amount and let it sit for 35 minutes........and depending on the left over residue u have to do the process a few more times.....for a nice result you have to put in the time and effort.
