FT titanium turbuckles blue color removal?

Post by sandkil »

Hi all,

Is there a way to remove the blue color on Factory Team titanium turnbuckles? I'm not talking sanding or grinding.

the anno doesn't stick well to ti anyway. i used my dremel with a little compound and it took about 1 minute per rod.
you could probably do it with a little compound and a rag.

Greased Lightning and Easy Off wouldn't do anything on the FT turnbuckles I used on my CE. I wound up chucking them in the drill and taking a red scotchbrite pad and some mothers aluminum polish and it stripped it real quick!

X 2. I tried it a long time ago with some of the AE/RCPS FT ones looking for an easy way to the "right" turnbuckles. Never happened...so I 49v/simplegreen anodized them gold :lol:
