Thanks. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 To remove paint from what? If aluminum I don't suggest that. Get something called Aircraft remover or Aircraft stripper. Spray on, let sit a few minutes, comes off.. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think i put this in the wrong place! can someone move it for me? Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hmmm never tried over cleaner to specifically remove paint, but I have accidentily gotten it on things with no ill effect. I normally use actual stripper in a can (its a compressed foam) that I get from Home Depot for small projects or I like to use aircraft stripper which comes in a larger metal can (similar to paint thinner). You can buy that last stuff at most auto parts stores... the last time I picked it up, I got it from Oreillys on 303. Any kinf of liquid that yo apply to remove paint is going to be messy. You want have any kind of clean product to use... aircraft stripper can be a little harder to apply because you have to apply it yourself vice using a spray can, but I recommend it above anything if youre doing it on a large scale. Small scale use the canned foam. I may have a picture so you can pick it out at Home Depot by the mall. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 It can be messy if you dont let it set long enough. I am usually impatient and scrape it off to fast. If you let it sit on there as recommended it really isn't messy. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You know, honestly - I like Jasco. Buy it at any home improvement store, there's off-brands that works almost as well for a bit cheaper. It just takes longer to work. I used aircraft stripper and that's fine, it's a bit expensive when you buy it in a spray can though. Jasco has always worked wonders for me, brush it on, let it sit - and you can either putty knife it off, or you can pressure wash it off if you have an area to do so. Beware, pressure washing blows the shit everywhere, including on you. And if you've never had a stripper-burn, don't get curious. Avoid it like the plague. You don't know annoying stinging pain until you get a stripper blister... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Youre stripping paint... it can get messy. Just throw a cloth or some paper down and go to town. I might have asked you this before, but where in Silverdale are you located? I live right behind Target. If you need some help stripping paint, I can roll over in the 510 one day.

jastrunk97 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I live up on silverdale way on mountain view road, if you know where that is. I dont think i need help but if i do i will Pm you. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah I know that area... Just let me know if you ever need help. I would just ditch the could work methods and use ones that are known to work. None of them are really expensive and should do whatever you need them to do. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Tried it and it sucksss........... 99c store oven cleaner spray and shit load of paint to remove. Sounds like a great idea!!!! Nope... Buy the real deal and get it over with. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Stripping paint will never be"not messy".Aircraft stripper is the best stuff on the market. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I just stripped a rear aluminum finisher. First tried Oven cleaner and it barely worked, and it started to etch the aluminum! So went and bought aircraft stripper and voila! It worked awesome! Oven cleaner will strip most enamels and acrylics, but good luck with lacquers. Either way you go, make sure you protect yourself with gloves and goggles when applying and scraping. Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 A real paint remover can mess up a plastic or whatever bumper cover. I would imagine that's why oven cleaner was brought up. Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I use oven cleaner to remove pitch and burned on material build up off of carbide saw blades and bits. Works great! But I only use a tiny bit and need to be outside to do it. Ewwwwww! How can you ever think of using it strip paint? That shit shit is fucking nasty deadly. Breathing it is like drinking it. Brain cell meltage may occur. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 it doesnt work i used oven cleaner to clean my l20 before putting it in the new 610 it didnt remove paint but worked well to clean it Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oven Cleaner will usually work on anodized items. I used it on the stem for my bike (Was anodized red) and it worked wonders,Brought it to a nice clean metal finish.But for paint it is shit... Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Use bolagna on a hot summer day. We use to do that to the rich kids cars at asu in Phoenix and it totally works. But that's just a prank for the preppies :poop: Lol another I used to do was make a dry ice bomb full of hair dye and throw it in people's car to fuck their interior... I called it a dalmatian... 1 Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Over Cleaner really only works well on grease, oil, and crud.... You can use that head gasket remover but that'll cost just about the same as Aircraft remover, I use either Jasco or Aircraft Stripper... both work well but make sure it's warm out and if the sun is out even better... doesn't work well in colder temps.
