all black wouldnt be my normal choice but couldnt pass on 30 quid for hollow forged
Can't blame you + there is always paint removal
Ya. Probably a great deal for Indy's in the UK
I thought the black was anodized? Will be tougher to removed than paint. We're ppl using oven cleaner for this?
In the 90's and early-2000's they sold automotive wheel cleaner that would easier removed anodizing. Bottle would say something like not safe for polished/bare aluminum
For removing paint without solvents I'd suggest brake fluid if you have some sitting around
is brake fluid surefire? might have to get some tomorrow if so...
Yes for regular brake fluid. That's DOT 3 and DOT 4. The cheap stuff..
If you're gonna use it I'm your car I'd suggest something like Castrol GTLMA, low moisture adsorption..
DOT 5 is synthetic silicon based and doesn't harm paint. Probably costs more too.
Weird euro/brit stuff might use mineral oil? Idr..
Don't need much brake fluid. A damp paper towel stuck on the paint would do it. Or brush/dap a lil on, it clings pretty well. Mixes with water so just rinse away. Best part is no fumes.
Might take some time tho. Maybe 1hr? Idk. Never timed it.
Wanna be mean and total a car? Pour brake fluid on it and walk away. The paint will never dry in those spots but it might not attack the primer coat. It'll still rust thru the primer tho. Pour down the cowl vent by the wipers for incognito action.. um, merry Xmas?
