Stripping alloys back to metal

[Bradharding]

What will strip alloys back to the metal for powdercoating? Paint stripper isn't strong enough for the paint!

Bah. Shotblasting at 20sniffs a wheel

Elbow grease and wet + dry paper!

 

[Bradharding]

Yeah. Would work but would take forever on OZ f1's. May aswell just accept they're gonna be another 80 quid more

Nitromors the f*****s!

I used Focus paint stripper on my old wheels, it ate through the metal! :evil:

 

[Bradharding]

Well the paint stripper we use at work wouldn't get through the primer

Nitromors! Trust me.....

 

[Bradharding]

Nitromors! Trust me.....

Okay dude might give it ago. will 2.5 or 5 litres be enough? And which one is the best to get (textured paint stripper, all purpose paint and varnish stripper or craftsman paint and varnish stripper?)

 

[mini-valver]

The one that smells strongest, lol. Automotive paint stripper I think it's called and comes in the green tin. ".5 litres will be enough, just put the wheel face down in a tub of it and leave it for a abit then scrape it all off.

If you use nitromors do not leave it on for too long or it will eat the metal
Good luck

nitromors was no good. Worse than our paint stripper :S. Managed to get a quote from a local company for £140 shotblasting and powdercoating. All good

 

[mini-valver]

Joking! Nitromors can usually take any amount of crap off!
£140 is spot in though mate, VERY cheap so just watch the quality of the powder......

Pics when they're done!
