You could get some paint stripper or sand it off by hand too.But beadblasting is the easiest.

Bead blasting would be the way to go but due to time constraints that isn't an option right away... I just don't want to have red hubs on my blue and white quad :blah:

Absolutly. Remember to remove the bearings and seals from the fronts before stipping and sending off to the PC'r.
