Never stripped paint off anything before, only ano
Seem to recall someone saying nitromors wasn't much cop anymore and that Synstrip was good
Trouble last I've only found it for sale so far in 5L containers (which is probably a lot just for a pair of pedals  :teef: )

Can anyone recommend something that will do the job? Or post a link to this stuff being sold in slightly less industrially-sized amounts?

nitromors will be fine for a pair of dx, put it on thick and let it sit for 5-10 mins then give it another coat, it will probably start coming off while giving it the second coat. use a toothbrush to get into the tight bits.

Nitromors is fine if you keep it 'wet'....

Splash it on and wrap in clingfilm for a bit  :daumenhoch:

DX's have the thinnest layer of paint ever so you won't have a problem getting it off. You may want a little artists brush to get in all the angles though.
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider

It's by no means the original paint, someone's just rattle-canned them black so hopefully won't take much to shift it
