    standard finish on z20let tophat and crossover?

    As above, is that standard black ones just a crinkle paint that will come off with nitromores or are they powdercoated from standard?

    nitromors will fetch any paint off if you leave it to bubble off , then wire wool it , sorted

    hmmm are we talking about the standard black rippled effect paint thats on these4 then as ive covered it in Nitromorres and its not doing anything like it normally does. just making the paint soft enough to scrape it off. its not bubbling like it usually does

    I think it may be due to nitromors not containing dichloromethane anymore since it has been outlawed for home use as of last year (?)

    The new stuff is not as good as the old tbh.

    well thats a bugger. well it at least softened the paint and i was able to scrape a lot of it off before sanding the rest off.
