Right peeps just a quick one

I got these tuffs from steve today and just wanted to know what strips cheap paint cheaply quickly without damaging the wheels and nothing thats gonna damage the hub please

any help welcome

cheers

Pic of the wheels ( sorry steve used your pic hope you dont mind  :daumenhoch: )

oldschoolace:
Media blast or water based paint stripper i would have thought would be ok.
celulose thinners if its rattle cans should work too  :daumenhoch:

oldskooldayz:
Will try paint stripper  as it's the easiest to get along with thinners
I don't know who doesthis media blasting round here but will look into it as an option
I actually want the wheels to stay old and faded Si paint stripper is probably the best bet for now

Cheers for te reply bud  :daumenhoch:

Mate, I am using nitromorse on those red tuffs I bought from you, and it works fine. I wouldnt leave the stuff on them over night, but I put some on those red tuffs and left them for an hour (kept checking them) and the paint just wiped off.
I was speaking to the guy at the diy shop and he said that new nitromorse is not as aggresive as the old stuff, Just try a bit on a small area, keep your eye on it and as soon as the paint bubbles up, wipe off.
I tried everything else, oven cleaner, brake fluid dot 4, thinners, gas, the list goes on, but nitromorse was the only thing that worked. Didnt try media blasting, but was told it has to be soda or water anything else can be to harsh.
Best of luck mate :)
