I bought a set of rims and one of them was painted black. Is there a way to strip the paint off and not damage the clearcoat?

If it has been painted with a single stage black with no clear coat over it...you could try some paint thinner on a rag and see if it wipes off.
If there is the original clear coat under the black, it may need buffing back to a shine. Usually the original paint or clear coat gets a surface keyed up (sanded) to create a rough surface for the new paint to stick to. |
