How To Raw Parts

[Tobin]

what i did was i sprayed alot on and left it for like 12 minutes, then just wiped it off with a paper towl. and make sure your using the heavy duty (yellow) easy off

 

[joshbeattie]

my district comes tomorrow, and i'm pretty sure i'm going to use paint stripper to raw it.
but a few questions first, should i scrape it off, or wipe it? and how long do i leave it on for?

set it down on cardboard, spray it, and then hose it down and wipe it off. rinse and repeat more times until completely raw.

 

[issac p]

yeah, do what cory said.
I leave the paint stripper on for like 10 minutes.

i think 20 would be better, when i rawed my bars it took 5 sprays for each side of the bars 10 min each time

or you can use a sink, if your doing it outside its easier to use a hose then walk inside wit hit dripping on the floor

Fair enough, I heard somewhere on here not to use water, but I guess that's just for steel parts?

its faster but there is the risk of rust.

 

[joshbeattie]

its faster but there is the risk of rust.

Yeah but not if its aluminium right?....

 

[issac p]

Aluminum oxidizes, which won't make it weaker. It just makes the metal look duller.
Don't worry about it though.

 

[joshbeattie]

Well I don't want the deck shiny anyway, so if anything that's a plus :like:
But yeah, so your 100% this'll work? And won't damage the deck at all?

Wut, aluminum won't oxidize.

 

[issac p]

I'm pretty sure aluminum oxidizes. it happaned to my last district deck. It looks nothing like rust on steel though. Its just like a white-ish tint.
And josh., it won't damage the deck at all.

Thats just a corrosion from the alloy, its from rock salt, and stuff like that.

 

[joshbeattie]

Aha alright man, I'll get it done tommorow

 

[joshbeattie]

Right, so today was a disaster -.- spent all day doing it, and when I took of the paint stripper and the paint was still their (minus the graphics) so I tried cleaning it all off, and tried scratching away the paint, and now its just sat in my room looking like a pile of crap.
When I scratch of the paint it leaves a really dull white behind, then under that is the raw I'm looking for. so, what went wrong? And how can I fix it?

 

[issac p]

What paint stripper did you use?

 

[joshbeattie]

Poly strength extra strong paint stripper
It came in a tub, it's like a paste

Hey guys I'm thinking about painting my bars that I just rawed. So what kind of paint do I use? How long does it take? Is it hard? Is it worth it? Etc..... So pretty much just tell me everything about painting bars.
