Yes it is a sickness; and I believe other World members have it. I went so far as to transfer the stickers and felt bad from my broken fan housing to the new one. Only I will know.
Inspired by the crew here, I spent more hours than I should have on my blower. Though a hidden part, I am happy with my results. I started with my original system paired with a donor system I purchased several years ago. I used Easy-Off to remove most all of the overspray, followed by a combination of 1000, 2000, Autsol, and Magic Eraser. New 914 Rubber seals and plated hardware finished if off.

Really nice job! I plan to do a similar job (without the plating) this winter. I'm curious, does the easy off somehow not remove the black paint below the overspray in a way that laquer thinner would?

Unless a PO painted it, there is just black plastic under the overspray - no paint. Anything that softens paint without damaging the plastic will work. I used brake fluid but it was a slow, messy process and brake fluid is not fun to work with. |
