Removing the paint from a Try-all rim

[Czar Peter]

So I was thinking about removing the colour from my back rim to match my front one:bigthumb:....but it seems like the rim isn´t painted but is like a final product of a chemical process:werd:...so does anybody know how to remove it??...is there a normal colour or is the coulour made by a chemical way??....if it´s a chemical process is it removable by something or I have to grind down the colour?? THX for all the answers:) btw it not the fluo rim it´s the regular bule one.........

just sand it down and paint over it

I think anodization can be removed with caustic soda, but i don't know much about it
