    Default Easier alloy refurbish??

    At the minute all i can think of is to wet and dry all 4 of my alloys to get the paint/laquer off etc but obviously i will be there till gone christmas. Is there an eaiser way to do this? like some sort of acid or something?

    sand blaster is the easiest way.

    or wire wheel on a grinder but be careful with it.

    80grit sand paper, then 180 after wards.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
