Hey guys!
Im not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot. I have some 73 stainless steel c20 hubcaps on the way. From the pictures, these hubcaps looked to be in good shape. I want to get them looking more/less original and put them on my 72 c20. Someone painted these caps burgundy at some point. My question is, what are your suggestions for removing the paint? I was thinking about using paint stripper and lacquer thinner. I have painting experience but I've never removed paint from stainless steel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I hope everyone is well and safe,
Kels
