Almost lost it today...

I used oven cleaner in the past to remove existing anodizing but this was years ago, I'm not sure if the cleaners are the same as they were back then.. You want the yellow can.

Today.

Actually a few arrivals and a little bit ago

Also does anyone know the exact parts differences between the Scorpion and Turbo Scorpion? The rear plate is different and the Turbo Scorpion is having a longer wheelbase.
