Hi guys, can anyone recommend good paint stripper that can be ordered online? Decides to have a crack at refurbing my Fuchs wheels but it's proving to be a bit of a nightmare as there are several layers of paint and lacquer which will take ages to remove by sanding?

NitroMors is pretty wicked stuff - never used it on lacquer for car wheels myself. You might find it better getting them soda blasted (or media blasted - whatever the yoofs call it this week) for little money.
The renowned wheel refurb place local to me actually strips everything in acid tanks before they go about any repairs.
Nitromers is weak these days. I had a really tatty set of wheels chemically dipped at a place that does powdercoating. £10 a wheel then I painted them myself. Much easier to get it done professionally than a strp the layers yourself.
Nitromors does virtually nothing these days. more sensible to get them stripped by the profeshnals..

S2 Coupe... bit easier off the line...

Thanks for the input chaps. Might try some paint strippers as I don't have anywhere near-ish that does powdercoating, but if it doesn't work I'll get them blasted or something. I'll post up what I used and how it went.

See if you can get hold of Synstrip ( sorry cant remember the correct spelling ) I use this if doing a chemical paint stirp, lots stronger than nitromores, however I haven't used it for some years as the stock has only just run out. Scuff the finish, paint on thick coat and cover with cling film to expel any air and stop it drying out, pull off a few hours later. Burns like F&^%$$£&* so be careful, goggles a must

Take them to a wheel refurb place get them to blast them otherwise you’ll be sanding them for a long time. Btdt it shouldn’t cost you much all best michael
That looks like the product, can’t guarantee how good the new stuff is but the old gear was excellent.
If you mean the GRP tailgate, no, don’t put anything other than stripper meant for GPR on it or you will have hell of a time, you might even knacker the tailgate. If it’s steel tailgate on something else then I would imagine that fine. I won’t even use GRP paint stripper, not worth taking a chance.
