I'm sure you can but it will probably suck masking the tires off.

deck of cards between rim and tire with low tire pressure. Powder coat is a B to get off. You can try paint remover but I dont think its going to work. Sand blasting will.
Why not re-powder coat?

That Eastwood stuff is DOPE! I used it on a valve cover once and took the paint off with a breeze. Just had to buy 2 gallons but got the job done in 30 minutes.
