Those came out sick!
Taped the axles?
Thanks. Yeah, I didn't want to take the chance the stripper would do anything to the axles that would cause them to rust. Or get the gel into the threads and cause any damage to the nylon on the axle nuts. It was my first time trying so I wanted to be extra cautious.
can u do the baseplate too? these came out perfect
Yeah, you could totally do the base plates as well. I don't mind colored bases but I couldn't do the hangers.
It would take a little extra work for the bases as there are a few more crevices to get the paint out of. Hangers were pretty smooth. Most of it peeled right off and then I hit it with a medium stripping pad to get a few stubborn spots. That's what led to the brushed look in the photo with the flash.
I might do a video of the second hanger this afternoon to show how easy it was. If I do I'll post up here. It wouldn't be very long, literally cleaned the bubbled paint off the one hanger while I was waiting for the Keurig to brew my coffee.
