Here is what you should do...
1) Do not worry about taking the rims apart. Keep them together, as you will not see an advantage to taking them apart. In fact, you may find that they never go back together again as well as when the factory put them together. So leave them alone.
2) Take rims to a sandblaster who will use the "finest" method of removing ALL of the clear coat...this means not using coarse aluminum oxide...needs to be finer, like soda blasting so as not to roughen-up the aluminum too much.
3) Take them to a reputable powder coating company, and have them powder-coated in whatever color you want.
4) Thank me later.
