Recommended Posts

Baught a nice CUSCO front strut brace, just for looks, for my suppie a little while ago.

 

Was planning on re-spraying the feet befor I got her. So I got off my ass and started today.

 

Drill with wire brush end and origional color strut feet:

Got a bit fed up after a while using the drill on them, so I got 'ye old faithfull' down from my room and nitromorsed them. Took a while to faf but got there in the end:

where can you get that paint remover from??? Did 1 windscreen wiper the other week and it too bloody ages stripping the paint off with wet and dry

 

Got mine from halfords, £5 i think - NITROMORSE is what you need.

 

Ive learnt from that mistake now - i went to stermart and got a 'wire brush' end for my frill - 89p

 

You can see it in the first piccy - strips paint of metal in no time, but could also take too much out of the metal if your not carefull.

 

Nitromorse worked a treat tho - its messy so have plenty of newspaper and a paint brush to hand.

 

TOP TIP - wear gloves!!!
