TIPS, How to remove anodized paint from aluminum

Have you ever found a part you needed but was in a color you just could not use?
well heres a tip on how to remove anodized color from aluminum.

You will need a can of easy off oven cleaner. the YELLOW can.

next spray on parts. and leave on no more than 2 minits. Very important. then wash off with water.
you will have to do this several times till paint is all gone. but needs to be done this way so that the alloy does not get damaged by the cleaner. remember 2 minits at a time then wash off. allso you may want to do in a well ventalated area see cautions on can! 

when you get most of the paint off you can polish with a good metal polish like brasso,   hope this helps.

Kyosho Advance . I restored .

Kyosho Advance .

I made the roof with a mill . shaped the 1/4 alloy rails . made the Alloy servo tray with a mill , rotary tool and file. Wheels are from a Tomahawk. Body from a tamiya club member as so are decals. lights are from the new buggy champ kit. Yes its not completely correct but it looks good . This was my first Advance clone the second one came out much better . Both were sold on ebay as well as the others Assaults.  I lost the pics of all of them but I have seen my work floating around the world wide web.
