Removing brushed on RUST-OLEUM from axle housing?

I got a 6" wire wheel and put it on my 4" grinder to remove road tar and crap from front suspension parts and it flat tears it up.
It's a bit like hold a pissed off badger by the tail, but it sure works if you don't want to remove metal. (next time):D
I like the flap discs too, and removing a bit of metal on what you are doing just makes the surface look better.
yes i realize that, but the amount i am removing with this flapper is minimal, it is also removing the welding slag from the factory. if this was for arestoration, i would have giving it a chemical dip to keep the original finish.
