Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes anyway!
I got some alloys the other week on the cheap, they're in really good condition however the pain job is terrible! . . The plan was to strip them back, prime and spray them. I set to them yesterday with the stripper yet after 3 generous coats (1 and a half tins!) of nitromors and a lot of scraping they now look like this:
thinking about it now I wish I had just sanded them back, perhaps a little naive of me but I thought this would be quicker and easier. . .
Has anyone got any ideas of where to go from here? Was just gonna nitromors them one more time, scrape back what I can then maybe go at them with wire-wool and some sort of abrasive cleaner and then possibly sand them as well. . . Either way what seemed like a nice little weekend job is turning into a right head ache!
Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
