tuff neck stem stripping

(1/4) > >>

Geordie:
lo all, i've just received a nos tuff neck stem this morning but it's black and i need it to be silver. i dont know if it's black paint or anno so i dont know which product to use to strip it. anyone got any ideas? also is there anywhere that i can get a new tuff neck sticker for it as the white one thats on it will probably come off when it's stripped.

thanks paul............ :daumenhoch:

heat/hairdryer will remove the sticker. take it easy or it may crinkle.

try nitromors first, which will work for paint. it wont harm the alloy. then polish it with autosol.

if not, oven pride, or caustic soda, will remove anodisation. dont try this first if you are not sure, cos the caustic will get through any nicks in the paint and start eating the alloy while you are wondering why its not coming off.

macmark:
I've got the Tuf-Neck logo done as rub offs.

Geordie:
hi mark can i take 2 of them please. pm me your details. the logo looks like it's printed onto the stem top rather than a sticker, i know this sounds stupid but i cant see the edges of a sticker anywhere and the logos not engraved at all into the stem. see pics



is nitromors as toxic to use as caustic/oven pride? will i need gloves & a mask etc?

thanks paul............ :daumenhoch:

selfpreservation:
caustic soda is a very dangerous and volitile chemical use oven pride instead and get the same results , if its anno, nitromors will burn your skin yes use gloves , dont even think about going near caustic without every part of your skin covered especially your eyes , do it outside and read the instructions . watch when you are scraping paint when using nitromors cause bits can flick off and get your eyes which is unpleasent
