Im refurbing my alloys, and trying to strip the paint of them.

Iv been using that nitromorse stuff. and its pretty crap.
Used some slightly better one (forgot the make). and iv done half an alloy out of 5 and its taken me.....well over 6 hours.

I want to make my own acid tank to leave my alloys in over night to strip the paint. Any ideas or advice is welcome. Cheers

You're either not using the Notromors properly or your wheels are powder coated.

Take them away to be stripped. As you are sking these questions you shouldn't be trying this yourself.

Theres nothing wrong with trying somthing yourself surley....

I think im having trouble as i belive the alloys have been bodge refurbed many times in the past. Just spraying over the old paint making the paint very thick. Nitromors just seems to weaken one layer at a time meaning i have to apply many times before i get through to metal.
Im just thinking of making my life easier and doing the extream.
