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.)

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.

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.
