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?

I used paint stripper, and a rubber scrapper. Then had a buddy send my rims through the sand blaster with glass beads. It turned out as if the rims were brand new again. I'm just waiting for my powder coating gun. Planning on painting it silver gloss so it looks factory again.
