Righto, im currently trying to strip the paint on some mx1000's, ive stripped the brakes and have had them sat in nitromors for 2 days, whilst some a large percentage of the paint has come off, some of its being mighty stubborn.
Maybe they use super strength pink paint :2funny:
Anyway, any ideas on what else i could use? i was thinking caustic soda maybe but im not sure if it will eat the alloy..
Any ideas appreciated

Steve P:
I had the same problem on a lavender set . . . don't use caustic as it can ruin the chrome on the QR levers

I used heat to shift the stubborn paint in the end . . . worked a treat  :daumenhoch:

i used a plastic scouring pad nitromors and some 1500 grit wet and dry on places loads of elbow grease then polish wit autosol it was a nightmare but well worth the effort

jj46:
Well i've got the birds kitchen creme brule gas jobby on them, the paints turnt black but aint shifting...Guess its going to be lots of elbow grease then

oberonspacefruit:

elbow grease nitromors is the answer
