My bike was stolen and the thieves spray painted it really poorly, so I'm thankful you made a video that'll help me get my bike somewhat pretty looking again!
Great video. Question. Does this work on factory paint . I replace a panel thats cracked. And repaint a whole goldwing from blue to pearl white. Or old school and paper
About how much does this stuff cost? Got a bike recently and the paint job is honestly really bad on it. Probably a rattle can, but when I looked closer, theres a few small chips and the original paint looks completely untouched!
hey hopefully you reply...i just wanna know if this is alcohol, or some kind of special paint removal we don't have this where i am??? thanks if you reply
Hi from across the pond would this wondering if this would work on a perspex screen? I bought a fairing and they had painted the screen black so i would like to get rid of the paint what do you think?. Cheers Mal
I believe it will take the paint off. Will it hurt the clear plastic? I'm not sure. Probably not, but unfortunately only one way to find out. I guess you could find some similar plastic and dunk it in xylene over night and see what happens.
I tried it on a scrap piece of perspex unfortunately it melted the perspex a bit, glad i never just put it on my fairing screen first thanks for advice Ryan
Hi, my bike has matte black over the original paint but im not sure what kind of paint. It seems flakey and scratches off (not plasti dip) so maybe it is spray paint. Should it work on most paints? And did you have any issues damaging the original paint. Cheers
In my situation there was zero prep work done to the original finish. The black paint was pretty easy to remove and the original finish underneath seems fine. Your situation could be different if they sanded the bike before painting. Give it at try on a small hidden area and see what happens.
@@S09Engineering awesome cheers will do, and i can see parts of original glossy paint where it has been scratched/ chipped. So am excited to see if its pristine underneath 😁. Also sorry to bother you again and i know your not a professional but i can find any xylene where i live, could isopropyl do the same job in theory? Or meths/turps? Thanks again

I hope it works well for you!
I just picked up a bike in similar condition. I was resigned to it being great except for the paint, but you’ve inspired me to give this a try!
It's worth a shot. Thanks for the comment 👍
These are well shot and edited. You should make a lot more.
Thank you! I will make more videos sometime. I really do appreciate it 🙏
Wow, looks great \m/
Hey, thanks!

Thanks! I think you would need to use something stronger for factory paint. The xylene removed the spray paint, but not the factory paint.
@@S09Engineering i guess its sand paper , with water....i just gotta fine out which grid
Thanks

It's about $25 for a gallon
I personally love the CB 500F without the fairings, it really feels like a naked

I suppose you could try acetone.
Mine isnt coming off as easy, any tips

Good video sir.
I hope you keep your good work going. I have 1 question, If I mix Xylen with IPA, will it speed up the removing process? Thanks sir.
Thank you! I'm am not sure about mixing, as I have not tried it.
If i want remove the second Spray to get the original paint..for motorcycle ..Can use any type of XYlene or Special Xylene..
There was nothing special about the xylene I used. I would assume any xylene you can find should be fine.
Good video though! Bike looks straight off the showroom
Thank you!
Use Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel once all paint is removed from plastics.
Will look like new again .
I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip!
Hello curious if it cause any issues and damaged the plastic or tried to eat it? Thank you!
Nope. No damage!
@@S09Engineering awesome thank you very much I appreciate the info will definitely subscribe!!

Can this help in removing from metal tank ...I own royal Enfield Himalayan ...
Yes. I removed the paint from the tank as well. All using the same method.
Awesome vid
