Stripping arches
I want to change my painted arch extensions to black. Rather than paint them, would it be possible just to strip the paint off them? If so, how? Has anyone tried it?

Cheers

I don't think that the body-coloured ones are black underneath, so stripping off the paint probably won't achieve the result you want.

Blackwolf is right, just checked my TD5 and Puma and they are the same arches, even the fixing holes look like they are in the same place Thumbs Up

Many thanks all Thumbs Up
Just bought the matt black ones as a set. Originals off a 2006 TD5 Very Happy
I can keep my blue ones as back up (or if I change my mind) or sell them here in Germany - think they would do quite well on German eBay Wink
Very happy Mr. Green Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
