Re: Safe paint remover for vintage wheels?
HI!... Well ran over to the U.S today to pick up some more RC10 related items from the UPS Store. While I was over there I stopped over at Home Depot and picked up a jug of CITRISTRIP. A bit pricey at $20 for the small jug. Got home and pored about 1/3 of it in a old cut off plastic milk jug bottom. I submerged several painted wheels (silver, several coats) into it. I checked back in like 15 minutes. This stuff is awesome!!!! Plus it smells nice too, which is good since I'm doing it in my RC room down in the basement. Just the 15 minutes stripped 95% of the paint off, all in the little intricate parts too. I cleaned them off using a old tooth brush and soap&water. Then I submerged them again. Going to let them sit for a few hours. They should look like they were never painted by tonight. Then they go through the whitening process. I luv it when I can save old RC parts from going in the garbage. I'll post up some pics later.

Cool.
I'm glad that it is working out for you.
Good smelling cleaning products are always a plus...
Pics would be great when you're done.
