Sub Tank Clone Peeling Paint

[Gary Horder]

As the song goes '' shoulda known better '' but i purchased a subtank clone from fasttech and on first clean in cleaner it started to lose its black covering, ok can live with that BUT what would be easiest way to get ALL that black off now, dont fancy sticking it through a few hundred cycles, any advice

Acetone nail varnish remover, my nano clone was peeling already when I opened it, won't stop me buying more of the preeety colors though

owch
new Stanley knife blade is about the best thing for getting paint of but you can easily scratch the atty so be careful

Strip it down and use nitromors!

Acetone like TJ says not nitromors, just take the seals off and the insulator out of the 510 connector and soak it.
I complained to them a couple of months back about my one which flaked right out of the box, c***s refused to refund me and said it was designed to do that, couldn't be bothered with stripping mine i binned it and i'm not buying anything from FT again, if they're willing to f**k customers over and make stupid excuses to not refund an obviously defective product they don't get another penny from me.

I thought the excuse that it was designed to flake off was outrageous, but it's unbelievable to know they're still selling the same products that they know are defective, it's one thing unknowingly selling defective goods it's another to do it knowingly.

I wondered if this be the best bet... is annoying having the flaking... but i knew i was taking a risk buying non genuine... mostly fasttech get it right and clones are nigh on poerfect, one mess up in a few still saves me money in long run, though lately AUTHENTIC has been in a lot of my searches, though doesn't excuse their poor customer service at times

You cant always tell from the pic the quality of finish but you can get an idea as to whether the rest was a 'rushed job'.
Take a look at the reviews, if it has any and see what keeps being brought up...Yours wont be the only one that is like this.

I'd use wet & dry on it for a brushed finish...........

Cleaned up fine. Once i got around to it, just a little bit of tidying and its usable.
