Then get some good paint stripper (nitromours) and dab that on and leave for around 20mins. Keep repeating this till almost all the paints gone. Then get some fine wet and dry paper and get rid of any remaining paint. Then use wire wool to get them all smooth again. Finally get some auto gleam metal polish and start polishing.

Thats how you have to do it, its a bit hard though because you dont really have much surface area to polish and you have to do it every week to keep it shinny from experience with my friends old t rex which he stripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Then get some good paint stripper (nitromours) and dab that on and leave for around 20mins. With the paint on maguras it takes all of about 2 minutes and then it literally just falls off no need to any abrasives :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
