Aircraft Remover

Here is a link that is in the FAQ. You should always look there before asking questions. Majority of the time you will find an answer

^^even uses LS meshes!

Good Luck

 

Well I definitely read that faq before i posted this thread, I must of not been looking hard enough...but on my wheels some powder coat is still there and some of the stock color is visible(ill post pics later on)but doesn't aircraft remover remove ALL the paint(including the stock)?

 

LS Meshies are polished stock. Aircraft remover takes off paint. You should be fine. If not, repolish them to original luster.

 

use auto-strip. I don't care for air craft thinner, doesn't work that well

 

thanks .
i am aware they are polished stock...there is some GRAY paint over most of the polished areas....
thanks again for the info

 

Here's mine, using auto-strip...

 

i have never seen auto strip. where do you guys get it?

 

I bought mine @ Wal-Mart last year, like 10 cans and used up 5 already. They discontinued that product and replaced it with the Aircraft can. I haven't used the Aircraft, yet, cause I haven't used up my last 5 cans of Auto Strip. But, eventually I will!

 

Any heavy body paint stripper, or aircraft stripper when used with a wire cup brush with a drill and a wire brush will pretty much get it all done in one go.

 

i am about to try this stuff today:

ill chime in w/ the outcome.

 

Wow, you bumped a half a year old thread to post that?

But just to add to the thread, I've been reading that gasket remover by Permatex works pretty good as well. I want to try it out, just can't find it readily available. When I find the stuff, I'll try it out and hopefully get to post the results.

 

my post ahahaha

 

this thread is over with...i had seen a picture of somebody using the aircraft paint remover.
The picture was in the state of the paint dissolving.. i assumed that s how it looked after...

I have polished my rims to pimp status ^_^
