paint removal

Post by Alpinestar10 »

Looking to gently get to stock paint off my gtu/indy mirrors to have them painted with a really glossy black whats the best way to have them stripped or blasted to have them to the factory plastic so there is no teal or white?

Find a place locally, they are all over. Or send them to me. I do soda blasting. It removes all paint. And does not attack the substrate. It's then a virgin material.
