decided to strip the rota slips this weekend with aircraft stripper. 1 spray can and 1 liquid can later they aren't even fully stripped. the very last layer of paint or whatever they use as the first coat is SLOWLY chipping off.

anything out there stronger than aircraft? i'm only 80% done with the outer spokes and all, still have the inner wall to strip

 

HAH good luck..I tried the same thing this weekend..Lets say its cheaper to have them sandblasted...Your gonna spend more on the aircraft stripper...Mine are gettin sandblasted tommorow..

 

some rubber gloves and some steel wool + aircraft stripper is your new best friend. Put some effort into it and it'll be just fine. I had a tough time with mine too.

 

yeah alot of cans.................

 

lol have fun

did you let the aircraft set in and do its work then scrubbed...or did you just sprayed on and scrub right away?

thanks

 

let it sit for few min. then scrap or pressure water spray. then send it like ****. make sure do it on warm day. not hot

i was askin the prices for the aircraft stripper vs. the sand blasting.

 

good luck. wear gloves or else ur hands will be black for a week. there is a tutorial somewhere on here. i think i read start with grit 400 sandpaper and work up to 1500 grit. i polished mine, the results are amazing. when ur done and ready to polish, buy blue magic i think its called and use a buffer..works wonders.

search my name i just recently posted some pics. good luck

 

FYI, you dont need to go down to bare metal to paint your wheels, just and down the best you can to get the clearcoat off and repaint unless you have random chipping and need the surface flattened.

 

Try Jassco from home depot.

i'm guessing sandblasting would be a little more than aircraft, but i already bought aircraft twice so i overspent i have access to a sandblaster so maybe i'll try that next
