VR6Nat 9 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 sand blasting is always an option, my mate had a whole set done for £80 and came out really well. you just have to make sure they use the finest grade sand and on a low pressure... Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yea ive used Nitromors on previous wheel when i refurb them. You will also need a wire wheel for a drill to remove all the paint. Do not get nitromors on the tyres it will burn through them. It is eveil stuff and melted the plastic pot that i put it into. Link to post Share on other sites
Ian_rogers 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm not after any kind of perfect finish as their only for winter use so don't wanna be spending much. I'm gonna be spraying them myself too, just a bit of practice for myself more than anythingBut don't wanna spend hours n hours with sandpaper etc lol Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 its a pain in the backside to fully remove if you get it into all of the corners and therefore will ruin the finish if you dont get it all off not worth the hassle in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites

BADOIR 2 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 if the wheels are already off easier to have the tyres off, then the worlds your oyster go which ever way you want then Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 You don't have to strip the old paint off.Scotch brite the top layer, to allow the new paint to stick to something, that should be fine.Use panel wipe before you spray so there isn't grease or dirt left, then spray!

DanH 1 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 yea dont have to remove the paint....but if u wanna, nitromors is the stuff! its great if u dont let it dry, do few layers, keep applying and it'll jus scrape right off! i used it on my wheels, bike frames and pretty much everything else! evil stuff stuff so use gloves, it stings bad and leaves burns!

J5KE F 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've used in on pool paint before, about 10 years ago now, we had to strip an entire 40ft x 20 ft x 8ft deep pool and it was days of agonising burning! I Hate the stuff with a passion!Sounds a tad simple but try a hot air gun and platic knife..? Link to post Share on other sites
