think that stuff would work well in striping the clear off my 10 holes? or whatever factory coating is on em?

Yeah there's another guy on there with the '79 that just got wrecked, he has a set of 16s that i wanted to get but he got to them before me. I want a set of 16s for my Mustang. And yeah i would say if this will eat off the powdercoat it'll eat off the clear from 10 holes since that's probably just automotive clear coat. Powder coat is baked on, i doubt clear coat is.

I used some real expensive paint stripper to get paint off a part once and it worked great. I put the stripper on for a few minutes then just hosed it off and all the paint was gone. I forget what the stuff is called though. I'll have to keep in mind the permatex gasket remover for when I refinish my gt 40 intake.

Man for $4 a can you can't beat this stuff. The time i've saved just being able to spray it on instead of brushing it and worrying about it dripping is enough to justify having to buy more cans of it. This is gonna be what i use to clean metal parts from now on. I can't wait for a warm day so i can hit my turbo housing with it.

Were yours 16s??? Dude i'd have given you a pretty penny for those.

Where'd you get that stuff?

It's Permatex gasket remover...same brand as most of the RTV's out there. You can get it at any parts store.


I wouldn't use it on plastic...then again i'm using a tooth brush to clean the spokes out and it isn't hurting that, but still you'd have a bare plastic center cap and that would suck. If some company started reproducing aluminum center caps for Ponys they'd make a fortune.
