I bought a blue front tuff 2 thats stupidly been sprayed black. What do you reckon the best stuff would be te get the paint off??
painter thinner? paint stripper? any sugestions welcome.
thanks.

nitromors will waste it .
it pity's the paint off.
jetwash it after.
wet and dry, or scouring pads,then your choice of cutting copound/finishing polish
easy.

I used spray on paint stripper on some yellow painted black tuff II's. The paint stained the yellow but. Sand blasting them works very well. I ended up dyeing them anyway.
-
So you reckon paint stripper is ok? doesnt harm the wheel?
-
give it a try
it shouldnt munch plastic though
it doesnt eat through the plastic nitromors lid, or the sheet of polythene i stripped a frame on the other week.

Cheers lads ill give it a crack at the weekend, ill have that first Gen back on the streets before you know it! :)
-
i know for a fact it doesnt harm the nylon.

i did a blue one that was painted green then black the other night
Painted it with inspector, smoked a tab, then got a brillo and rubbed the painty gunge crap off, swift scrub with cillit bang and your away.
