Nitromors everytime...  Dry sanding is a mugs game... lol

You wont have any scratches to deal with when stripped and you wont lose your fingerprints (unless you mess about with the Nitromors too much in which case you might lose more than your fingers).

I tried to strip a set of green MX1000s a few years ago & it was very very hard, nitromors would not touch it  :(

If Nitromors will not budge the paint on an MX. You can try permatex gasket remover, but do wear a mask!!  :daumenhoch:
