For some reason the previous owner of my xb9r painted it a horrible army green color. I am working in removing the green paint so I can to back to the original plastics color. Any ideas for removing the paint? They sprayed so much on its almost impossible to use a putty knife... | ||

They have spray can bumper stripper or you can use brake fluid. | ||

im trying break fluid right now, its not doing much so far. do you know a recommended time to allow saturation into the paint? | ||

Okay...i smeared on the brake fluid, i let my plastics set in the sun for about 45 min and the paint chips right off. effortless. Make sure it stays warm though or it will be hard to chip off the paint. | ||

I have been trying normal and heavy stripper on powder coated (I think) aluminum parts and it is not working. I now dripped brake fluid on it, the part which is aluminum. The coating is like a plastic that is resistant to normal blasting. I could blast it but that makes the surface rough and takes some time.I do like the blast cabinet I have now with the white silica sand in it. | ||

I hit a buzzard a couple of years ago and repaired the plastic during the winter. It had a bad paint job so all the plastic was redone and stripped using a single edged razor blade and patience. |
