First issue that comes to mind is the SP spoke holes, would be near impossible to clean.
That's what pipe cleaners are for.
If you're thinking of caustic treatment, make sure you mask the bearing bores. Taking 25μm off the outer surfaces to deanodise is fine, taking 10μm out of a small bearing bore can be the difference between a press fit and a rattling disaster area.

A friend of mine has a set of ratty 350s SP hubs I am thinking of stripping or de-anodizing as I want to build op a nice silver set of wheels for my neo-retro Vitus. Have not seen a strip of hubs done before and cannot really find anything on the www.

Should I just get silver Bitex instead?
I like that all my wheels have DT Swiss hubs :(
