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

"greased lightning" should do it.... if you can get it over there.

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
