Paint off engine

[Neka79]

Just scratch off the flaky bits with a screwdriver and apply Black engine paint liberally
Then IF you ride it fast no one sees

hahaha the problem is I want to leave the metal bare...so no coverups of screwdriver scratches



......and I don't know how fast it's gonna be yet

You may want to make sure it starts before you strip it and rebuild the bike

lather a hot vindaloo on it...that may strip the paint...

well it has stripped the paint of the bathroom walls

I heard a rumour Hoffy's toilet is held together by 100 mile an our tape after the vindaloo ate through the ceramics

i saw him bidding on ebay for cable ties too...

nuthin u cant fix with duct tape or cable ties!!

SPARCO paint stripper from bunnings Mick, about $15 a litre tin from Bunnings champ.
I also bought some of that tree huggen' citristrip which would'nt remove "Pykies pink shirt from a poofta."

Well I got the paint stripper and had a good go at it yesterday. Note to self, don't strip a bike in bare feet cos that bloody stripper will give you blisters! (edit - hang on, that sounds like I was up to something completely different )

I worked reasonably well. Got all the crappy stuff of the cam cover pretty easily but the paint on the cylinders was a bit harder. It's off most of the obvious places but there are a couple of other spots still to do.

.... but the paint on the cylinders was a bit harder.....

it always is......when I stripped the engine paint off the Black Pearl, it took maybe 3 goes before every speck had gone ? Its just a process that takes more than 1 go in some spots.....

bare feet ???? didn't you read the instructions ????

The OH&S officer didn't see me so nothing happened OK
