How To Raw Parts

So I de-anodized my Proto grippers yesterday and they look great...but I would not recommend anyone doing it because the glue does get weakened and I can see them separating from the core already. Also its like ovalized my bearing cups or whatever you want to call them, so now my bearings just fall out of my wheel and the wheel always comes loose.

well grippers dehub in a few months anyway. i dont see how it ovalized the bearing slots though. i have a feeling that your wheels were already messed up, but you didnt notice it until you rawed them.

Maybe who knows, But ever sense I de-anodized the m my front wheel has made a crackling sounds from the bearing and ive replaced the bearings twice now and it still does it.

This may be a stupid question, but is it all right if i raw my forks with the starnut still in them?

If my freind painted my proto half knuckle red and then Matt black and it was blue originally can I use paint stripper to get it off

paint stripper will only take off the paint. it will still be blue. so what i would do is strip it, then de-anodize it.

you leave it in the bag untill the colour comes off, and the oven cleaner becomes the colour of what you're rawing, when i rawed my scs is took about 45 mins
any heavy duty oven cleaner works, i used mr muscle extreme oven cleaner worked fine
