    Removing spray paint from alloy rack

    I picked up a very cheap rhino rack a while ago and the previous owner black spray painted the back of it for some reason.

    What's the best way to remove the paint from alloy?

    A very light sand?

    Acetone. Or paint it whatever colour you want. Even a high pressure washer might get it off too.

    The best and quickest way, fine grit sand blast.
    Or paint remover..
    Or if your that keen, sand paper..

    A round wire brush on the end of a drill would clean off the paint, polish the aluminium and bring it up like new.
