hey new to the refinish network, but was wondering what is a good method of removing years of paint build up off of the stands
36grit
take em apart and give em a bang with the hammer when laid on a vice. the paint will crack up and fall off,
Or you could buy newones and clean them every day like your gun. No?
just wrap them in paper and tape
As above – in the past I’ve chipped the bulk off with a hammer, then finished with a grinder if needed.
Nowadays I mask them up wherever I can.
i have aslo chipped off with hammer
but after a few hundred blows the old wrist get’s blooming sore.
So i found another way that works
Vice grips mole grips not sure what the U.S. chaps will call them lol.
Just set them so they are not too tight on the stand and twist and you will be amazed at how easy the paint comes off.
Not to tigh you really just want to be gripping the paint and not right though to the stand.
Hard to explain but it works
if i get a min i will take some pics
