Polishing motor

[BlasterMod6]

Is there any chemical I can get that will dissolve the black paint on my motor, its a blaster by the way. I used a wire brush bit in a drill to get msot of the paint off the clutch cover but I missed a few nooks and crannies that I cant get to. Trying to get it all off so I can paint it Metallic Blue.

paint thinner shud make it come off easier...i personally sand blast my parts wiht a 30 grit sand

[pinger.j.]

blasters are air cooled its gunna be hard to polish in all the fins or are you sjut doing the clutch cover?

[BlasterMod6]

just he clutch cover but if I could find a chemical strong enough but not to the point it messes the metal up, ill use it on my head and jug, but your question...just the clutch cover for now

[pinger.j.]

i said it before i prefer sandblasting them becuase it gets the paint and dirt and anything off and also bring it down a bit to get rid of small nicks adns cratches it also makes its very smooth with my 30...i go right from 30 to 400...

well I dont own my own sandblaster and dont plan on it anytime soon, would a local machine shop or body shop sandblast soemthing for me for a small fee do you think?

[pinger.j.]

well if you have like a collision repair shop near you and go in there wiht some parts they usually will do it under the desk the guy will sjut pout the moeny in his pcoket...they got big snadblasters toot hat can clean up a cover in like 1 pass

machine shops would probably do it too. My local shop has done 3 motorcycle gas tanks for me and charged $15 each time! But now I just bought a sandblast cabinet for $60 and do it myself!

DO NOT SANDBLAST THE ENGINE!!!!

Go to a hardware store or Yatch store and get professional paint stripper.

its fine to sandblst the outside of engine covers......why is that so bad?
