Easy off in the yellow can. I tried the blue can and it took forever and really didn’t get it all the way off. But the Yellow can only takes a couple minutes.

If the parts are anodized aluminum a solution of water and Drano Crystals does wonders on stripping the ano off, did a bunch of mountainbike parts in the past, leaves a nice clean color as well. It will take about .0003-.0005" of material away if you are worried about tolerances.

Not trying to sound cynical: why do this?

Because I didn’t want them red since the truck is Blue.

I see, to change the color. You planning on adding new color? I mean, it looks cool, like sterling silver but with a small bit of yellow gold mixed in.

Yep, the fume free version doesn't work.

I'm guessing Drano is very similar to this. I've already de-anodized some pieces with Easy Off, but this looks like it works better
