Good SPRAY paint remover.

[Boonie Buster]

what is a good remover of spray paint? I have a bmx bike I want to recoat, and need to remove the old spray paint. Does Brakleen work? Or just a good laquer thinner?

[Boonie Buster]

I'm trying to remove, now two layers of paint to get back to bare metal (aka, chrome finish the bike originally had) so I can prime and paint it again.

Gloves and a mask. Your liver and kidneys won't like it either.

Sadly, we ran out of that a few years ago...

Worked great for cleaning things.

MEK is naturally occurring in produce (in small amounts). Go to Home Depot and get a few gallons, right next to paint thinner, xylene, etc.

Hell, brake fluid and gasoline are much, much worse for you and readily available.

sand blast it!
