paint removing

[lude9701]

any body know of a paint remover stronger than aircraft paint remover i need to remove the paint of my rims but the aircraft is not strong enough or where can i get them sand blasted!?

[bryantiscool]

let them soak
if not 15 minutes, 20
or do multiple times.

I wouldn't recommend you let aircraft stripper sit on the wheels for a long period of time...4min max. The chemicals will start to attack the metal in the wheels.

What kind of paint is on the wheels now? Acetone on a rag will remove most paint. Thats what I have been using.

[that one guy]

umm, I believe that aircraft stripper is stronger than acetone on a rag. i usually spray the aircraft stripper, then hit it with steel wool.

Aircraft stripper is way stronger. So much that it pitted/scarred a rim that I was re-doing. I thought the same way as most do when they first use it. Works pretty good at 5 mins so 20 mins will be better. Nope it ate my aluminum wheel. I have also heard of people using ez-off oven cleaner as well. I for one have'nt tried that process out.

I have done my process quite a few times with great results....
