painted skyways
« on: September 11, 2008, 04:52 PM »
how can i remove paint from skyways easily?

can i soak them in bleach for a couple of weeks? will that remove the paint?
i know brake fluid can remove paint from plastic (modellers trick)
but will bleach if left long enough?

Bleach won't touch the paint I'm afraid ... have you tried a test spot with normal paint stripper  ???

Get them media blasted, use the smallest media they have and they should come up a treat  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

If its aerosol paint, paint stripper should have it off in seconds.
Do small patches at a time, rather than dunking it in.
Use a non metallic scraper to help shift it too.
Skyways are quite tuff (pun)
