ok I will toss a ball out here.
I decided to paint my lathe. it is That ugly green and yellow from Busy bee.
First , I tried soaking the metal motor cover and the plastic controls cover in Easy Off heavy duty Oven cleaner for 3 hours and got nothing.
So far, all the paint from the control box had to be sanded off ( by hand ) back to white plastic. what a mess.
I started to work on the tail stock. It was a poor casting job and it was covered in bondo under the paint.
I mean 1/16 " thick of bondo. Great...
Maybe I should go with a good Toxic Ozonre killin and enviromentally UN-friendly paint stripper from here on out.
I was trying to avoid it .
This one of times I Wish I had my own sandblaster...
