Removing paint from engine
Hi folks, have a question. May have been covered here before but a thread search did not bare any fruits.
I have some old glow engines here that are looking really ragbagged. They are clean and smooth, functionally perfect, thanks to the boiling AF dips. However these engines are painted and the condition of the paint just looks like crap. They are OS blue 65LA and a couple red Irvines. They looked fantastic when new and fresh, but now they look terrible with faded color and flaked spots.
My question is how do I get that paint off? I would like to get these engines naked and go au-naturel for now. I do not care if they come out shiny or not. Just want the paint off. I may decide to repaint at some later date to my custom colours. For now I just want to get them to shake the ratty look.
Ideas, tips, methods, something easy? I really don't want to be taking abrasives to it. What I am hoping for is; a proven chemical dip followed up with a toothbrushing is what I am after please.
