I am allways using nitromore for loads of bits just make sure u keep it on for a little while then go back and put a little more on u should see it bubling up

The trick is to whack it on and keep swilling more on. Don't get it on your skin when it's got paint in it though, burns like hell!!!!

If they're chrome it wont touch it as the chrome is metal plated to it. only way to remove that is with blasting.

I have a feeling it must be metal plated, as the nitromors is having no effect whatsoever. Argh, will have to save up for sandblasting, as they're not my primary set of rims...

Bump. I'm going to start stripping the dishes on my current 12x6's. Should i just mask off the spokes (which i don't want stripped), or will the Nitromors eat through that too?

It could be done but you'd have to be very careful and do lots a few layers of masking.

Then when its ready and the lacquer is blistered up, use a plastic scraper to remove the majority of the lacquer and paint stripper, then just wipe them down with a water and a sponge. That way you'll minimise and chance of flicking the nitromors where you don't want it.

Once the paint on the dish is off, should i worry about the laquer lifting on the spokes? There won't be a uniform layer of laquer on the wheels and so the remaining paint will succumb to lifting easier, right?

i would have thought it would be very difficult to strip back just the rim, i would expect that you would need to strip back the whole wheel.

If you get any paint stripper on the spokes at all it'll damage the paint/lacquer on them instantly.

If you just want to strip the dish, mask off the rest of the wheel thoroughly and with multiple layers so that if some paint stripper hits the masking it won't just go straight through to the spokes.
