Quick question

[TheSubieVaper]

Does anyone know of any easy way to remove paint from a Zeus X? It started chipping
Not a huge fan of Red, would like the tank to match my mod (make the Zeus silver)

 

[Ruwaid]

a buddy of mine did this to his old red zeus x as well. Cant remember what he used but maybe he can explain @EZBlend

I started picking pieces off with a tweezer until I got frustrated and sanded with water paper and green soap

 

[EZBlend]

Just incase you ask what green soap is

Put the tank in the freezer without the glass,then drop it in boiling water. The paint might pop off.(1hour)
Or reverse this method. Good luck!

Minor scratches the soap and water minimizes them.

That's interesting to know. Only on this rta or any even without peeling paint?

Strip the tank put only the metal parts in a ultrasonic cleaner with some warm water and pg
Let it run a few cycles

That type of paint that looks like candy peels off if it's not etched properly.
So rapid thermal changes should make it chip off easy.

Thanks
Definitely trying this first, since I don’t own an ultrasonic. Will post results if it goes well

Am keen to hear the outcome either way @TheSubieVaper

Think brake fluid will work

 

[TheSubieVaper]

Think brake fluid will work

will consider if all else fails, want to avoid harsh chemicals near my tank

 

[TheSubieVaper]

so I tried the freezer/boiling water first, nothing really happened, so I added sunlight liquid soap to the hot water and started sanding, it immediately just fell off
Really stoked with the results
Thanks for all the advice, I now have a matchy matchy setup with the new mod

nice one !

So the fire button on my ijoy capo100 died. Perfect tester candidate for paint stripping,been wanting to try. (Thanks for the inspiration, @TheSubieVaper )

Then managed to clean out and resolder the fire button,so happy with the result.
