Reply To: Paint stripping tips

I first clean the powerhead with a degreaser, then go over the whole thing with small wire wheels in a dremel tool to remove any loose paint. Then do a thorough clean with aerosol brake cleaner. The aerosol spray works well at getting into all the small nooks and crevices for a final clean. Somewhat tedious work with the dremel tool but it works for me.
