eob 7 Posted September 17, 2007 I've decided to start at the top on the Mi and work my way down, refurbing and polishing as I go, as a result, I've started at the rocker cover As it stands, the existing rocker cover is fairly chipped and sore looking so I want to take all the old black stuff off. The question is... how? I've tried heating it with a heatgun and that sort of thing. I've tried neat citric acid. I've tried standing around looking at it. Nothing works. Anyone done it? And when you did strip the black stuff off, what do you paint on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eob 7 Posted September 17, 2007 You rock ablister. I'm presuming by paint stripper you mean common garden Nitromors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Nitromors should work fine. Use some rough sandpaper on it first, and it should help the stripper to penetrate through more easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_mini 7 Posted September 18, 2007 Get youself some wire wool to scrub it off with takes a few goes at it but it does work. Or you could get it sand blasted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edthedrummer 0 Posted September 19, 2007 nitromors will strip it easily enough. How about polishing it? nice chrome rocker cover. . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted September 19, 2007 Don't sandblast it! It's magnesium, won't stand up to it that well!! I Nitromors'd mine then used primer and Hammerite, chips off fairly easily though, not that impressed with Hammerite these days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
