Removing paint from the corners....

[cruizer]

I have been given a stackable monitor stand from a lady at work to do in Bubble Gum color. These are very simple piece of metal formes into the following shape: [______] (this representation is upside down). There is also a folded edge on the front and back (the side being the [ and ] ) that creates a corner. I an having a hell of a time getting the paint removed out of the corners and inside seams. And the very lower botton lip. I've used paint stripper, glass bead, and a wire wheel. The paint stripper seems to have done all it can do. My bead blasting setup is very weak. And the wire wheel won't fit in there. I'm at a loss here.

I think the only way to remove it is to use some more agressive media for the blaster, glass dont remove that much, its more for givning a smooth surface than removing...

OOhhh. Switching media is such a pain.

Coal slag will remove that with no problem glass bead is good for smoothing and soft metals

Now there we go!! I'll give that a try before I go and change my media.
Thanks guys, for all the help thus far.

Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

when using heat be careful not to warp the metal some jap metal is soft and will distort easy

I use glass bead for everything. Seems to take everything off real nice, except powder coating. Takes a little time with annodizing too. But, all paints... not an issue.

What about just some sandpaper. Sometimes that is what it takes to get into the small crevices.

And I never seem to thing conventionally either.
These were really tight corners, I tried to burn the paint off, that didn't work. It seems as if whern you use paint stripper, whatever you get the stripper on that doesn't come off right away, the paint gets harder to remove there. I think that's what my problem was.

Fortunately the problem areas were a very low visibility area, so I jsut left it, and continued my painting process. When done, you couldn't tell anyways.
