Master cylinder paint

[Andicog]

Has anyone had any success removing the factory black from the Slingshot master cylinders?  I've repainted mine a few times but they always end up looking tatty, I initially tried decent stripper but it doesn't shift the factory paint, I'm thinking of vapour blasting them but any cheaper suggestion would be welcome as I'm thinking bare alloy would be best.

dry ice blasting is less abrasive if you are going for bare alloy.
Not cheaper than vapour blasting though.

Try several paint strippers, i have 4 and found what works on 1 part may
not work well on another part.
Coat it with paint stripper and air seal it in a bag for a day often works.

Vapor blasting does not leave a good surface for painting. Soda blasting would be better. And the soda dissolves in water for cleanup.

I was intending to leave them bare alloy anyway.

White fluffy alloy is not a good look!

Already have both yokes,  clip ons and swing arm in bare alloy, doesn't get a chance to go white and fluffy.

Then vapor blast is your best option to keep a good finish
