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.
