the.golden.ax Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 With the advent of the plastics dye, I was wondering what the best way to strip a lynx down to silver/unpainted would be without roughing up the plastic. Could it soak in something? That paint comes off pretty easily but not 100%. Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to come up with a method, and offer Lynx color change as a service.

EricDeLee Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That's pretty interesting. I've never heard of anything really. I'll keep an eye on your adventures though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Lacquer thinner might do it, but I wouldn't soak the plastic in the stuff. Is it actually chrome plated plastic under the paint? I remember looking inside my dead Lynx and seeing "chrome" on unpainted surfaces. If I still have the dead one, I'll test out the lacquer thinner theory. A longer exposure to alcohol might do it. I've seen how model airplane fuel can take paint off, though I'm not sure what the total makeup of that stuff is. Soda blasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im_reg Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 How about Nail Varnish remover. Might give you a matt finish rather than shiny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The best removal stuff comes in a spray can. It was just called Spray cleaner and it has a warning on it that tells you that it is acid (ph 11). I once tried to clean the grease from my kitchen scale and a single spray and wipe removed all the grease and also all the paint from the kitchen scale leaving me just plain shiny metal. I also lost all markings from the scale that made it completely useless This stuff is used for cleaning equipment before shipping it to customers. It created some kind of foam that eats into paint like crazy. It does not hurt plastic in any way. The plastic is clean and shiny after the treatment. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semicolo Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't want to be picky but if the ph>7 it's not an acid but a base (that's why it works so well on grease, turns it into soap) Don't you have a make for this stuff Karri ? it may be hard for him to find something that sells in finland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
