Wanted to get my z1000 carbs back to bare metal...cheaply..
Can't use paint stripper as it attacks the metal..then I saw yanks use stuff called aircraft paint stripper, as it doesn't attack the alu. Looking into it a bit, it's just a non caustic stripper..went online and they sell it at my local " tool station" depot, so fourteen quid layer I've got a tin.
Tried it tonight..it works!
Stripped my carbs, no staining or blacking, in fact the metal comes up like they've been pro cleaned.
Now I have a cheap easy option, I'll take the calipers back to bare metal too, and re paint them.

Didn't know such stuff existed, but it does the job, took an hour in all..
