I called Canadian Tire and they just have clear coat remover, the guy on the phone said it "should" work on aluminum but I dont know if I trust him....
Will that stuff work? If not where can I get aircraft stripper?

I've bought that stuff at the hardware store before.

argh, I just called all the hardware stores in town none of them have it!

Maybe their just idiots and dont know they have it in stock...
If I cant get aircraft stripper for my rims what else can I use?

Well, I didn't have much luck with aircraft stripper when trying to strip my one fender. I bought the stuff in the rattle can at Wal Mart and it did dick. I wound up using Zip-Strip. This stuff is the best stripper I have EVER used. It comes in a black/yellow container and is a semi paste. You can get it at the hardware store. They also have industrial strength formula too. That's in a black can.

if you need more, advance auto parts sells it. i love how it pulled off 3-4 coats of rattle can in about 10 seconds (messed up painting my valve covers). however, it starts to burn your skin if it lands on ya.

I got a good sized can of aircraft stripper from auto zone and i used it to strip clear coat and enamel paint off my rims it worked really good for me you just paint it on with a brush and it makes the paint bubble off the metal just dont get it on any plastic or dont breathe it too much i can cause cancer

Cancer personified?

therckid

wth the cause for cancer has been proven. Lack of oxygen getting to a certain part of the body because its to acidic. Oxygen cant live in acid.

Why do you think epople can get tumors on the surface fo their eyes for wearing non breathable contact leases for years at a time. No oxygen gets to their eye.

d_johnsen

Drewace

yeah i did a typo but i meant to say be careful with the paint stripper because it will mess you up its pretty dangerous stuff it is proven to give cancer in a very short amount of time so just dont breathe it

Is it possible to use it only on the outside part of the spokes of a formula wheel? The inside of the spokes are fine, and I would prefer not to repaint the inside.

Would any tape work?

JLP

well on my rims I have the aluminum and then black paint...I just sprayed like a mad man and let it sit for 15 mins. The black paint didnt come off just the clearcoat

Normally works in sections, whatever it doesn't remove recoat. Also helps to scrape it.
