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

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
-
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

dont use caustic it will fook it up,
elbow grease nitromors is the answer

cover the part in nitromors, then wrap the bits in cling film or tin foil, dont know why but this makes the stripper a bit stronger......

It's because there is less oxygen so it stays moist for longer :daumenhoch:
