htial Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 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.

ARTZ Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357458-acid-bathing/#findComment-5714729 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 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.

ARTZ Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 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.

xALmoN Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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.

Birds Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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.

ARTZ Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 yeah i accidentally lent on some and it got on my forearm , i washed it off but it kept burning for quite a while.. And that was a tiny dot, no way i'd put it in my palm.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357458-acid-bathing/#findComment-5719923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
