adam trials Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Why would you want to?Just use some sand paper or something but they will rust when it is off because it is like a protective layer over the metal.Keep it on.Adam.

Nitromors will probably do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padarik Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 it wont rust, it will oxidize as it will be aluminium. Nitromors will probably do the trick nitromors wont do feck all to anodising, just use coustic soda, poor it in a plastic tub add hot water put cranks in , 1 min later bang done. no need for any one else to put anything, this is the easyest way!

Wright Pads Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 For a cheaper and faster effect wire bursh thingy in the end of a drill and go nuts on them!!! It'll get it off and layer of the aluminum that has oxerdized before the anodizing and you can then polish them up to bling all in half hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you do use caustic soda i would still recommend to sand /wire brush the surface of the parts so as to allow for maximum effect when cleaning them up before you lacquer them.

kyle-livesey Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 coustic soda but dont leave it in to long as it wears away layers of metal and they wont fit proply and its very nasty stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
