Stripping Motor Anodizing Off

[Nick]

Is there away just by rubbing it off? Rather than using any strong liquids.

I could imagine a cloth damped with meths should do it safely? Possibly wire wool too, just to get the bulk of it away.

Nick,
What we were talking about with scotchbrite doesn't involve any liquids or chemicals at all; just a power drill and a scotchbrite pad. I used one that you might have around your house already. It's the plastic scrubbing side of a household sponge.

Put the shaft of the motor in the drill, spin it, hold the scotchbrite pad lightly against the can and wait for it to do it's work.

Here's what the sponge/scotchbrite pad may look like:

What about steel wool, or a metal scouring pad, would that take it off even faster?

I will shoot a movie of how i do it.. It really is sooo simple.. I must admit, i've got relative strong hands people say, so perhaps that helps me out a bit.. (i could press about 270 lbs on a scale)

Rene, I think you just earned yourself a nickname: Mr. Stronghand!:D

Do you know Clapton?;)

Eric Clapton is slow hand, it can't be him?

Nothing you can see about my hands, they are unmuscelled and no big vanes crossed over them.. the power is just there... :p

[Dafni]

:p of course I know eric is the slow one!! Just thought it's funny, slowhand, coolhand, and now, stronghand.

Hehe. :D

Well seeing he can hold the Maxx almost horizontal, while his tyres balloon triple their size, that deserves some credit. ;)

As the sponge thing, yeh I guess I can do that now! Although wouldn't it leave a few scratches/scrapes? Can't imagine a smooth finish...

because a picture tells more than thousand words;



a simple 3 minute strip job.. I use POLL to polish it (again with the drill)

It even was a Savage, Nick! I think when he would have released the grip, the truck would probably have flipped twice before landing on the floor.

Yeah, no worries, Serum, we keep it on the down-low. I will just bust it out when you have been a bad boy! Promise.
