Removing plasti-kote paint from CH Master dish

[digiguy]

Hi all

A few years ago I painted my Channel master dish with plati-kote paint. This is beginning to come off with the weather. How easy would it be to remove it the paint? I dont want to damage the mesh by using any chemicals etc.

Anyone know what I can use? The dish was painted green, think I should of made it brown to blend in during the winter!

Cheers

Give it some gentle treatment to start with

Second thoughts just try some Nitromose but wear protective goggles over your eyes

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go in the summer

Nitromors is nasty stuff - you dont want it on your skin, and you certainly dont want it splashing in you eyes.. Goggles are essential.

Hope it wont damage the dish, by melting it

Might be worth painting some on an umimportant bit on the back first... just in case

Erm, I know this sounds silly, but if Nitromors doesn't make a wooden chair dissapear, surely it won't dissolve a Metal dish....

Ah - but this one is almost certainly a fiberglass dish ;) They have mesh embedded in them to reflect the satellite signals
