Default 3dr wheel refurbishing?

Hi all a friend of mine sent his standard 3dr wheels to be refurbished but when the company recieved them they said that the laqure on the wheels was too thick for them to do them. Which i thought was strange if there supposed to be refurbishers. Anyhow what we need to know is can they be shot plasted then diamond cut and painted or will shot blasting kill them. Do any of you know a good company to sort these wheels. Any advise appreciated.
Thanks Danny

Sand Blasting will take the paint off without damage, but may take a while. Best to use chemical stripper on these...

I used www.Lepsons.co.uk who operate a collection service.
