_FNQ_rolla_ Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have used paint stripper and a wire brush in the past and they have come up ok. Afterwards I give them a good wash off with water. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_ke55! Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Got it done today just used degreaser, came up a treat will put pics up tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT036 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 When we did the engine swap in panelvan, we took the gearbox down to the 24 hour car wash next to bp with some degreaser. We soaked it with the degreaser, and blasted it with the high pressure gernie till it was clean enough. Then brought it home, sat it in the sun to dry, and painted it silver. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
