never stripped a green one - but people have said its like powder not paint, if paint stipper is not shifting it - go to somewhere like motosave and buy 'liquid chisel' gasket remover it will shift anything  :D

just use gloves and glasses outside.  ;)

Right if gasket stripper is not good, I would pop and see a powder coater because thats what it will be... :-\

remember the gay pensioner mentioning a product I think, might be worth dropping him a pm. That green stuff on MX's is made using the HULKS snot!  :LolLolLolLol:

I had the same problem with Pink and understand it was because it was enamel paint and required an acetate (something like nail varnish remover of a certain type). :daumenhoch:
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

I stripped a set years ago, one half came off easy, but the other half took ages, I used Nitromores too, but mine was not black ano, I think the Nitromores just turns the metal black  ???

i had a pink set i tried to strip.
ended up spraying them black as i could'nt get all the coating off.
nothing i tried would get it all off.

i don't know whats going on with nitromoors, but i had some alabastine paint stripper(dutch make) left over when i moved back to blighty. I tried to strip a few things with some nitromoors i bought, it didn't work well, mixed results and dome untouched. I dug out the dutch stuff and it did it in a matter of a couple of minutes. nitrommors has been castrated by the health and safety nerds i think.

I don't think the nitromoors you get today is as strong as it used to be years ago.

I needed to get some powder coating off some pedals and nitromoors wouldn't touch it, but Wilko's own brand got it off in one go! Makes your eyes water a bit though :buck2:
