LMAO...no the 13 hours didnt seem that long...I did it over the course of a few weekends.
I think I did one side of 1 wheel per weekend....some took longer than others for some reason.
Was totally worth the effort though

Are you looking to do the whole wheel or just the wheel lip?
IMHO just doing the lip is sufficient.
Bought some industrial strength paint stripper (marine/airplane I think...) and taped off the inner part of wheel.
Applied paint stripper in sections and after 10-20 minutes the paint would just bubble up and peel right off leaving a polished wheel,no wetsanding/buffing required.
Took about 13 hours to do both wheels but was definitley worth the effort
Heres a pic I took the day I finished both wheels (Holy crap 5 yrs ago!)
