help with paint removal on wheels
hey guys,
i have tried everything to get all of these layers of paint off of these bbs basketweaves!
*first off i tried at least 4 cans of aircraft remover(which if youve used, does wonders in pulling paint off of ANYTHING so of course it was my first source). worked great but still a lot left on the wheels
*was afraid to use too coarse of a sandblasting material so i tried glass beads first through a little gun you hook up to a hose
*glass bead didnt work so went to aluminum oxide.... still not completely removed and lots of flakes and chips of paint left. this was used on a brand new sand blasting machine... someone has told me they need to be worked in so i should try again
there were like 4 or 5 layers of paint on these wheels with clear on each probably and im sure each layer was baked in the oven bc this ish is impossible and theres no way im gonna hand sand through all of this mesh
someone talk to me!!! help me through this
