Tiny bit of progress yesterday. Went through 2 whole cans of the aircraft stripper (expensive shit!) and took them to the car wash for more water presssure and the paint is still on them...
![]() Decided to sandblast them, stay tuned. ![]() (Also got a nice set of tires yesterday for cheap for them, 195/50/16's.) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

just hand sand them! May take a while but at least you can say you did it by yourself :p

Sandblast is the right path. It'll get all the paint off and leave you with a great surface for new paint to adhere.

These have been sandblasted before as well, so not messing up the finish of the bare metal. That's why I'm having such a problem too, the red is powdercoated.

Sandblasted and sanded to no avail today. The red is powdercoated and is not coming off. Going to have to get them professionally stripped. :(

Haha yes, matches well with the "gas mask".
Just an old shirt I used that I wouldn't care if it got ruined. Don't wear it anymore in public. ![]() |

So... how long were you wearing all that gear before you tried your best Darth Vader impersonation?

Update - the guy I had hired to sandblast them hasn't come through. I picked the wheels up in around the same state I left them at his place in over a week ago.
I bought some gel Aircraft Stripper and went to town on them with an air-powered grinder (the gel is the same brand as before, just the bigger gel can now. $17.) ![]() ![]() Sprayed them off at a car wash to get the gel residue off.. that crap's nasty. ![]() ![]() Now 2 of them are about 95% done, and 2 of them are about 75% done.. stay tuned.
