I have seen quite a number of posts and threads about sandblasting or sanding existing factory coatings from parts in preparation of polishing. I found this trick after I sanded and polished my first pulley. What a job! In preparation for the 240 swap, I purchased a black center pulley and didn't want to deal with all of the coating removal and then more sanding to get the part to a polishing point. The product I used is called Klean Stripper and is sold at Home Depot in the paint section. From start to finish was an hour and a half process with very little work involved. Mostly just waiting for the chemical to reactthen some scrapping with a plastic body filler tool ~Don't forget to use gloves! Below are some photos and I will post up more of the polishing process later. Good luck with your mods.

Nice...thanks for posting the tip.

I hope you are going to change the bearing now!

Works great! Some don't know, but the upper belt guard is aluminum, and strips and polishes easily. Do a search, and see some great looking parts. Joe

A nice coat of chrome makes most parts look good.It's real easy to clean too.
