I was just wondering if there is an easy way to strip the paint off of the older sleds with painted tunnels.I would love to just have a straight aluminium tunnel with no paint.You probably would have to totally disassemble the sled but I just thought I'd ask.The yellow is starting to get on my nerves.

If it's black boot marks on your tunnel that's bothering you try talking to a BASF or Body shop supplier. There is a clear Urethane Tape product used on automotive paint to protect leading edges from stone chips. I polished the tunnel on an old Bomber RV 340 then applied this tape to protect the finish. I'm sure it'l keep boot marks of the mustard.

enjoy :blahblah:

At college when we were going to paint a payloader we went to walmart and got what i think was called aviation paint stripper. It comes in either spray bombs or just in a jug. If i remember right you just spray on and wait 2 minutes. Then you spray it off with a hose and you have bare metal. It works great just be careful not to get it any where you want paint
