Removing paint from tuffs?
How do I go about it , don't want to steam in and fook it up!!

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
It used to be nitromors - but that stuff would shift dust now  ::)

you can try some nitromors and see or ask any old boys have got the good old stuff in there sheds they wanna sell you ?

sanding is a bitch

the stuff Superbike Dan uses might work or it might melt them ? (you will have to ask him again, what it is as i can't remember)

that's as much a i know  ;)

Hmoon27:
Cheers B , didn't want to steam in with paint stripper if it would fook em!

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
just take it easy with the stuff (old best) - just do small patches and wash off

plastic mags will melt - skyways seem to get away with it but don't completely cover them and walk away like you would do a frame

kids and pets out the way - glove and watch eyes as it can flick up so easy  :buck2:

and just take your time on them (especially with the new stuff )

cheers B  ;)

Hmoon27:
This is the tuff in question


Got the paint stripper out earlier, gave it a good go ,then washed it off and had a go with the brillo pads......





As you can see , the freewheel side has come out better than the other. The other had been painted green then black :wtf:Gonna strip the hub and freewheel and lob it in the dishwasher tommorow night after er' indoors has hit the sack :LolLolLolLol:, hopefully this will get some more grime out. Then ill try and sand it a bit to get the rough bits out.
Then the dye? What'd you reckon will it dye yellow again or
will it need another colour
