Brake fluid safe for plastic wheels??

[Twmaster]

Hi gang,

I just got a decent set of flouresent green wheels for a Falcon and somebody painted them silver and black. I need to strip these. Are they safe to immerse in brake fluid?

Also, will brake fluid disolve contact cement?

Thanks!!

I had a bad experience with the grasshopper 2 super G wheels.

I have had good luck with easy off. you might want to try it on a thrasher set first

I don't know what the coloured Falcon wheel is made out of; might not be nylon like the yellow/white originals. Safest bet might be EasyOff.

Contact cement can be removed by using nail varnish remover. Foam tyres are usually glued on using various contct cements, and I remove old foam tyres from their wheels by leaving overnight in a jar of the stuff. Wheels just slide straight out whatever the make.

I left my Ford Ranger wheels in brake fluid for about 6 weeks and they are fine.

Paint came off a treat. The wheels are'nt really white anymore but I think that is because they were'nt that white before they were painted.

Mine were not fine [] They probably were cracked before i striped them but they fell to pieces when i lifted them out! Rough rider ones were fine though.
