The answer to your question is yes.
Are you for real? You want to grind away the braking surface of a rim to make the shape more like a fucked up non-brake surface rim?
Seriously, how do you expect that to look? Are you planning to professionally machine it away, then polish and anodise it till its smooth?
Why not got just buy one of the many rims made without a brake surface?
With your idea you might aswell pick up somebodies discarded worn out rims where the brake surface has worn away from usage and then try to paint them.
