I just got a set of omni lca in gold and was wondering if its possible to strip the gold off.


any tip would be nice.

 

Step 1. Sell the Omni LCA
Step 2. Buy the Function7 LCA.

That is the only way I know of. LOL

 

im broke buddy. lol

 

I'm assuming they're anodized... If that's the case, just clean, prime, and paint...

 

im looking for polish look

 

Then I guess chrome paint is out of the question?

You can easily strip any anodized part by soaking it in sodium hydroxide solution. To do this, buy some plumber's lye, mix it up in a tub, and soak the anodized part in it. The anodizing will be stripped off and you can polish the item after that.

Plumber's lye is abot $5 a bottle. That's cheaper than buying Function7 arms.

thanks function7

im also wondering if the bushings are going to be okay during the soaking process.

Remove bushings, or else you'll have to buy new ones. While you're there, remove the steel set screws too unles you want them to rust.
