I bought it at Oreillys. It is just like an industrial strength paint remover. You definitly don't want to get it on your skin. I just sprayed it on and let it set for about 5-10 minutes then just wiped them off. I have heard of people using oven off oven cleaner. I don't know about that but that aircraft remover will definitly take it off. You want to make sure you don't get it on anything you don't want paint removed from because it will take it off fast.

Shee-Male Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Drop them off at a local engine shop and have them glass beaded, it's cheap and you won't have to deal with the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 after rinsing the paint stripper off be sure to WD-40 the inside of the cylinder fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot less mess and not nearly as painful when that paint stripper hits your skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White06Shee Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah I Have Used The Aircraft Stripper B4 ANd It Works Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I had mine glass bead blasted and it only cost me about $20. I lightly sanded them after that to get them smooth and then coated them with clear high heat engine enamel to keep them from tarnishing constantly. Looks good and has held up great.
