I'd just be a bit careful Andy ....... It won't strip anodising but i left a thinners coated rag on top of a stem once and it faded and discoloured in places  :-[  ... it had been on for a few weeks mind   ::) :idiot2:

Just make sure you wash everything down with hot soapy water afterwards  :daumenhoch:

'Fudgey' dropped off a pair of skinny 3/8 Arayas last weekend he'd found. Unfortunately been rattled canned black, blue and silver! Trying to strip 'em so they have the survivor look. Front is looking good now, unearthed black rim, shiney-ish spokes and black suzue hub but the silver/primer? spray on rear hub/spokes wont shift with Nitromors. Any thoughts?  ???
