Stripping MM metalizers?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 30, 2004 2:21 PM
I recently started using Castrol Super-Clean for stripping paint, which works WONDERFULLY, by the way. The only problem is that on a piece of plastic that I painted part enamel and part metalizer, the metalizer seemed to stick more than the enamel and had a harder time stripping. I guess that's because the metalizers are lacquers? Anyone had any luck stripping metalizers and with what product?

i recently had to strip some alclad and krylon gloss black, which are both lacquers, and mikeV recommended oven cleaner or castrol super clean. i had the oven cleaner sitting around the house, so i sprayed the subject down real good, placed it in a zip lock bag over night and viola!! i took it to the sink and took an old toothbrush and it came off like hot butter!! i had to scrub a few places, but for the most part, it came off fairly easily. if its MM metelizers, just put some masking tape on it, it'll come right off!!!LOLWink [;)]Big Smile [:D] later.

Don't know about all of them, but the rattle can stainless steel will come off easily with plain old alcohol. I use a lot of it and that's how I get rid of it when I mess up.
