getting paint of tuff wheels

[Tefore]

anyone know of any chemical or faster method
of removing paint from tuffs. these ones in the pic are painted grey
they come off ok by scraping with a stanley blade
but want a faster method

Paint stripper? Not sure, but would have thought it would be ok 

[Tefore]

tried that moose but it still needs scraping very hard. i guess im just lazy

[Moose]

OK - send them to me, I'll get it off

paul what happens when you put the stripper on em.....in those pics it dont look like paint, they just look extremely faded/sun bleached

paint stripper will not harm the tuff tho by the way

dave.

they are painted it looks like grey primer to me. the guy i bought them of said they was painted in the 80s
it does come off i have started to get the one off a bit further. im using B&Q stripper i will get a better quality one tommorow.

[Tefore]

sorry dave forgot to say.
when i put the stripper on it dont really do much i use the same stripper on other painted stuff mainly off steel bits and it just drops off. strange

How about a pressure washer? Might work 

[Rombloke]

yeah if its old paint a pressure washer may blast it of.....try nitromors, but to be fair ive always found the b and q one to be just as good as the inspector

Try using brake fluid old or new ,apply , leave on for as long as it takes paint to lift and comes off easy . trust me i had a b---- ex misses who did this to my car and it don't half fetch paint off !!!1

[selfpreservation]

steep them in water fo a while a good few days then try some nitromors loads of elbow grease , dont forget the gloves goggles and wet and dry, most paint is a plastic , its possible that its bonded to the porous nylon , its not gonna be easy but youll be proud as punch when your done

[stoke bloke]

cellulose thinners will get rid of the paint no problem. Pretty sure it won't attack the nylon . Just paint it on with a cheap household paint brush, the ones with the nylon handles as the cellulose will strip the paint of wooden handles.
 Do it outside though paul as cellulose stinks and aint to good on the lungs.

Why does paint always come off when you dont want it to, and when you want it off you cant shift it?
