Jorge- Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 You want just the lacquer off or strip it to metal? I don't think you can be as precise as just doing the lacquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge- Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Mask them off, and wipe any excess off before it has chance to work through and you should be okay. Its like a thick paint, so take your time with a smaller brush and you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Why are you removing the lacquer? Surely you'd be better off wet sanding it smooth and then spraying over it if you're refurbing your wheels. If you're stripping back to bare metal you should remove the tyres or you'll end up with tiny traces of nitromors staying on the rim where it meets the tyre, and your paint will end up peeling as well as the wheel alloy corroding.

Mit this is an old thread, tyres were removed and wet sanding wouldn't work as most of the lacquer was destroyed sostarting at bare metal was a must lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Re Dodge Caravan Part - Post deleted!!! Crazy fool trying to get around the for sale rules me thinks. Obviously a UK BMW forum will have a massive requirement for US Dodge Caravan Parts - Aidan may have some friends or family that may be interested but thats about it.

Gaz Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 That's the problem with the site getting more and more posters. The busier it gets, the more spammers we'll come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
