Hey all,

I have started refurbing my bbs RX11 alloys as you can see from the pictures (hopefully they have loaded up), but am having a little issuse when it comes to adding the paint stripper.

I have had a look at the really good thread that says how to refurb these wheels but if you have a look at my pictures i cant seems to the remove the bits left? Can any1 suggest what to do?

Cheers

Luke

Refurb mine a few weeks back mate, just put a drop of Nitromours onto a cloth and wipe the rest off, worked good for me .

just keep nitromorsing and scraping and sanding thats all i did however i found that the brown wood stripper worked better than the green metal stuff, it does take ages to get the flatted right back. just patients and time is all thats required

Like above and get the tyres off. Makes like so much easier!

I applied nitromours with a paint brush, let it sit for 5 mins then scrubbed the paint off with a kitchen scrubbing brush. Worked a treat

I would strongly recommend removing the tyres. Nitromors has a habbit of eating through rubber lol

Yea i will get round 2 removing the tyres, jus wanted to try one 1st,lol. As for eating at the tyre, they are on the legal limit,1 of the reasons i have started to refurb them. Thanks for the comments, will give them a try n let you know how i get on.

Thanks again
