Finally riding a big boys bike
What is the best way to remove old house paint from plated parts ? Any good ideas, I'd like to remove the paint and not ruin the plating. It's on the bars and stem and chainring.
Thanks
Chris
 
You say it's house paint. What kind of paint, latex, oil base or what?
 
I have no idea. It's really old, I think the bike was garden art at one time. LOL
 
Wow, Use standard paint stripper like strip-ease, or something comparable. Acetone is way to harsh.

Stripper is easy to brush on and wipe/scrap off, then steel wool.
 
Acetone is the base of lacquer thinner and nail polish remover- I do not think it is a strong oxidizer or caustic- most paint stripper is very caustic- oven cleaner is weaker version- do not leave but remove per instructions
 
I'm going to try the paint stripper this weekend but I'm going to watch it close.
