The time it takes for paint to come off a BMX wheel can vary widely based on factors such as the type of paint used, the method of removal, and environmental conditions. If using a chemical paint stripper, it might take just a few minutes for the paint to soften, while sanding or scraping can take longer, depending on the thickness of the paint and the technique used. Additionally, exposure to elements like sun and moisture can accelerate paint degradation over time. Regular use and wear can also contribute to the paint wearing off gradually.
I would take it to a shop were they do powder coating..and have them "burn" it off in a oven.... That is a ridiculous answer. You do not burn paint off. If you do take it to a place where powder coating is perfomed they will use glass or sand beads to "sandblast" off the paint. To remove paint yourself: use a paint brush and apply lots of paint remover to the wheel. Let paint remover sit on wheel for 20-30 minutes. then scrape off the mess with a plastic scraper, wire brush, and finally a rag. Repeat this process as long as it takes to get all paint off.

First disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait 5 minutes for the air bag to disarm itself. Remove the horn pads from the back of the wheel and take the connnectors off. Then take the horn pad off the wheel by taking out the screws in the back. Now the wheel can come off. It will take a steering wheel puller to get it off. A steering wheel pull can be got at the parts store for a deposit. Before you pull it off put a dab of paint on the shaft so you can put it back in the same position.
Yes.Clean if well. Use a wire wheel to rub off any rusty loose paint.Go to a paint store (not a big box). MAB makes a primer called SuperBond. It will bond to the finish. Paint the are with the primer. You now have a surface that will take any kind of paint.
