He did say that if wheels were P/Ced he could just scuff up and PC ofer what was there but, if painted, best to blast clean as paint may not like the 400 degree oven temp. Said would also make for a better surface to PC to adhere to. Guess for the extra $90-135.00 cost, I'd prefer to get it done right the first time.

I've had former PC'd wheels done a second time this way rather than stripping them and they turn out fine. The paint is perhaps not quite as adhered to the aluminum so don't bump the curb.
