RicH_87 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Right i have an 04 maggie i don't really like the look of, so i want to raw it/polish it whatever...i tried to do something similar on my old maguras a while ago and the paint was really tough, so i want to know if nitromors will work?and if so will it effect the metal in anyway...as maguras can be prone to bending/snapping at the lever anyway.I hate using nitromors for various reasons, so only do it to save time, and i'm not planning on submergind the whole brake in it or anything, just plan to dab a bit on to give my wire brush a headstart....so any experience of stripping maguras would be helpful, i know people have done it before.and i searched but couldn't get anything.ta.

Egg Fried Rice Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 ive done it to my lever and i just use wet and dry sand paper but takes some time...i used a rough one first them a finer one afterwards. took me a few hours thoughJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Nitromors it, leave it to bubble and take the paint off, wash off the paint by blasting it with a hose, proceed to go straight to polishing it up, no sanding required, leaving no little scratches everywhere.

Walleee Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 kris is right, put it on fairly thicky, let it bubble, and then take off with wire brush or whatever. Wear gloves as it stings like f**k. Also wire wool is good for polishing. Autosol will be handy to maintain the shine.It's the best thing i've ever done to my maggies as they are nowpretty much timeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
