Hi All, my black serpent mini is loosing its paint, can it be totally stripped.
That's the 25 mm with dual coil deck right ?
It is the 22mm single coil.
I'm sure.
Problem is the Black Serpent Mini isn't painted... It's blackened by a chemical oxidizing process. You will have to polish it off with scotchbrite or water paper and the only way to do that properly is in a lathe.
You can use ferric chloride you can get it at places like twin radio, it's a etching solution but does corode a tiny amount off the surface of the metal, so keep that in mind and any working parts like threads just coat them with some nail polish and the ferric can't get to that surface. If you do need more info pm me and I'll explain it in more detal for you over whatsapp.
Thank You @Dreadside good to know for future.
Majority of the paint actually just flaked off. I then used a blade to get the remaining bits off.
