Geek Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hello there. Yesterday, I brought some nitromorse with the intention to strip the paint from my Echo Urban wheels, but it literally didn't even touch the paint, I applied loads and left it on for 30-40 mins (it recommends 20 mins) and tried to take it off normally and it didn't even touch the paint. Does anybody have a technical reasoning for this? Because i'm confused. It's defiantly nitromorse, it burnt my skin enough when applying it.

Mikee Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Nitromors will only take paint off. It won't strip anodised stuff. You will need something else to strip your rim but I can't remember what it is called. There have been threads about it before so you could probably find what i'm on about with a quick search. Or someone else may tell you first... EDIT: I just did a quick search for you and it's caustic soda you will need. But read the instructions well, do some research on it and be very carefull with it if you choose to di it as I also read that It's really nasty stuff.

Charlie The clue is in the title... anodised rims are anodised and not painted! You need caustic soda, or alternatively just flat the surface with some wet and dry and paint straight onto it.

Or someone else may tell you first... I decided to just give the surface a texture with sandpaper so that the paint to grip easily, paint with filler primer, then white (Vauxhall Glacier White funny enough) and then clear lacquered them, they aren't that bad to be honest, probably could have done with another coat, but as they're only a temporary thing, it'll do. Thanks for the comment anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Decent oven cleaner (Mr Muscle) works too, if you sit it in there for long enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
