shooterbenedetto Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have a Black sti aliminum magwell What chemical do i put it on overnight so that it turns into aluminum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Why wait ??? Get your elbow grease out of the closet, and polish that sucker to a mirror shine. Try Flitz polish or anything similar. Use a rag or better yet get your Dremel out and go to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapzter Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You can use lye, but don't leave it overnight, it'll eat the aluminum. Look here for more info om stripping aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive used lye on some anodized valve covers on a race engine works very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Sandblaster works great, then a fine glass bead to smooth it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepickles Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The raw aluminum is going to wear very fast. You might find a local anodizer to strip the finish and re-anodize the magwell clear. It'll resist wear and tear a lot better that way, I doubt the raw aluminum would even last 1 year with regular mag change practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
