rab shropshire Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Right I have a wheel that has been painted over the annodising, it has been proffesionally painted and is very thick.What i want to know is, how do I remove the paint but not the annodising. I have tried sanding a small bit but it would take forever to do the whole rim.Thanks in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 thanks for that mate how long should i leave itdepends on the paint, how thick it is, and how good the paint is (i'd imagine more expensive paint will resist longer etc)EDIT: nitromorse! not caustic soda, caustic soda will eat anodising...
