Stripping paint on Streetwires RCA ends

poochieone · 04-07-2008

Hey guys,
i'm thinking of repainting the streetwires RCAs that have been floating around here (sourced from ebay). wondering if just dipping them in paint stripper completely remove all the paint from the twist cover section (which has the white paint and lettering. if not, how should i do it?
Also what would be an appropriate type of paint to re-coat them with? it needs to be durable and if possible have some nice sheen to it.
thanks,
Marco

You could try thinner or acetone.

scuff it up with some wet/dry sandpaper.

primer and then enamel
