Removing paint from exhaust

swilly · 06-13-2013, 12:33 PM

Hello...

Does anyone know if any shops in the Houston area that would be able to remove paint from my exhaust? The previous owner painted it black, it's actually a pretty good job, but I'm wanting that stainless steel look back. Or is there something I can do myself to remove it?

Thanks

I have whats called a "crud thug" and basically its a wire wheel that spins on a pneumatic tool.... its designed to remove cosmoline/sealer/paint without significantly damaging the metal below it.

it *will* leave swirl and scuff marks, but works well. I use it to clean areas when I do subframe reinforcement or welding on painted surfaces.
