Capone Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Industial paint stripper and a wire brush. 491254[/snapback] Wear gloves + safety glasses. This shit will burn your skin, and if you get any on you water neutralizes it. Just a FYI if you didn't know. Quote
Dinner Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 I just used a wire brush that you put in a drill ...takes longer though Quote

. Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 if you havent done it yet....GO TO WAL-MART. They have a spray on paint stripper that works wonders. Spray it on and wait about 15 minutes and you can basically hold it under the water and the paint comes off. get yourself a small wire brush or even a brillo pad will basically take it off. IT WORKS WONDERS, its not that fumy, and it wont kill your skin if you happen to get it on you by accident (just dont leave it on there for kicks n giggles though) Quote
senoroms Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Posted March 26, 2006 wow thanks guys for the help but what was the name of the spray on stripper from walmart? i want to try that one before i try anything else and burn the skin off my arms! Quote
. Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 heck, I forget what its called....I believe its in the paint section, or might be in the automotive section, it was like 2 years ago when I used it last.....worked wonders Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 I think the brand name is Aircraft Stripper. I've used it, and it didn't touch the paint on the head I was going to polish. What ever they paint the heads with is on there good. Quote
DIRTMAN350 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah somebody needs to tell ATB to type in english. Not everyone here can read his language. Quote
