matt! Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 the cranks are powdercoatead because i used to own some, the best thing to strip them is nitromours (you can buy this from b and Q etc...) just apply it leave it for about 5 minute then then scrap of the goo substance with a thin metal object shud come straight of. the instrutions should be more clear on the back of the tin...hope i helped matt!

watto Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 It would be best in my opinion to sand them down or use a wire brush type attachment on a drill, can't find a picture of one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Swindlehurst Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) There are loads of diffrent ways such as:sand paper, nitro morse,coustic soda,air drill with a sand grinder,sander,sand blaster,glass blaster,there all diffrent ways ov doin it the easyest 1 is sand paper but that will take the longest but if you do it right it will give a good effect,unless you can find a person with a sand blaster that will take like 5 mins to do,but even better if you can find a shop with a glass blaster do that it takes as long as the sand blaster but it comes out with a more finer finish and you will be able to get a better finish when you laqure them! But theres always the option ov nitro morse witch you can bye from your local d.i.y store it takes a bit but it does the job! i hoped that made any sense lol,and i hoped i helped! danny...
