motomagII:
i got pair tracer 3 piece crank arms and want to get rid of the colour on them and polish them alloy is it paint stripper or caustic time anyone know before i try and make a mess/paint or anodidsing please .thanks

stidds:
If they are painted then use nitromors, if they are anodised then use caustic soda.

If you are not sure which then put on a dab of nitromors and if nothing happens (ie the paint does not blister) then they are anodised.

daz bmx it!:
As stidds says,but watch the C/soda as if you leave it to long it'll eat the cranks! ;)
