Have you thought about Soda Blasting? I've had the paint blasted off some plastic grill parts and it looks great. I've seen it strip the ink off a coke can and the can was fine. I'll post some photos when I get home later to show you the results. I'll also find the name of the bloke that did it for me.

cheers , yes I was considering soda blasting there's a guy in carrum downs does it..

But I ended up going to paint mobile in dandy , he recomended some industrial paint stripper and it worked a treat..

I guess the stripper I was using just wasn't toxic enough to strip powdercoat :)

There's paint stripper and there's paint stripper. The former being a clear, glue looking stuff that seems to just fade paint after half an hour. The latter closely resembling lava in both appearance and touch that seems to make shit bubble and peel after 5 minutes. Thick gloves = necessity lol.

yeah thats the stuff, thick brown goo the can sizzles when u shake it..

I tried 3m spray stripper. 20$ for 2 cans did nothing

some green stuff from bunnings 40$ a litre was a little better but still no good.

25$ for half a litre of the good stuff from paint supplies store, i used half a tin and job done.

Yeah, you paint the stuff on with a paintbrush :)

You had any splash on your skin? Instant BURN.

The one the smells like ammonia?

We used to put a drop on our palms and see who could hold it out the longest...

but i've always thought they wouldn't work on powdercoating because its like baked on plastic.

No, the one that you smell and it burns your nose just because of the fumes lol. There's no way you could put this one on your palm and see who can hold it there the longest - it starts burning instantly and leaves something of a nasty chemical burn after 5-10 seconds.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
