Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    nope. unless you are willing to grow a bread waiting for it to wear away the paint.

    just get aircraft stripper and save lots of time. later.

        any paint supply store for the heavy duty stuff, but u can get to any auto parts store and get the stuff in a spray can, spray that stuff on thn put a trash bag over it n let it sit for an hour or so, take it out n hose it off, repeat if necessary, you'll still have to do some sanding though afterwards, make sure u wear gloves that stuff burns like a mother

              to a degree. it mostly just cleans the metal to give it a bright silvery look. later.

                  Ive dealt with many kinds of stripers and pesonally think the gel stripers are faster and more effective to take off paint. The bad thing about spray stripers is that you really need to put on a respirator. Youll need to sand with 400 grit sandpaper and then apply some primer to make the paint adhere well after that sand with 500 and then paint. If you want to polish it youll need to start with 400 grit or coarser and keep on going thiner grit( 500-600-800-1000-1500-2000-2500) and after all that work metal polish or bluemagic. Good luck either way

                    Heads-up dont use steel wool to polish things that you dont intend to paint.
                    When you use steel wool on aluminum or magnesium it has a tendency to embed pieces of steel wool in the softer material. It will look fine untill the steel wool particles start to rust. ugh. I have seen it and it doesnt look pretty.
