Best way to remove spray paint from aceta

[Philz69]

Hi guys! I currently have three waterblocks ( EK FC GTX780Ti DCII ) that have been spray painted white and i need to get them back to black.

I scrapped the paint off of one of them, but its way too long. Could i use acetone? Whould it damage the acetal?

Would it remove the original paint? What about nail polish remover? Is that powerful enough?

Anyone got other ideas?

Paint em black? Or use sandpaper...

I'm not sure about acetone...

maybe try heat? I think those things would eat the block away.

Im affraid sandpaper would remove all of the paint and take it to bare plastic

I am pretty sure acetal melts before paint

sure, but the paint might peel off. just try warm-but-not-hot

Urm, if you're spraying anything removing the previous paint job is highly recommended. Auto paint will be fine around heat.

Acetal or Delrin as it's also know is highly resistant to chemicals so acetone or paint removers can be used on it to remove the paint, here this is a good reference:

My goal is to remove the spray paint that is on it and get back to the original finish

Thanks for the link, altough i guess acetone or paint remover would remove the original finish I guess im out of luck, i'll try removing the spray paint with chemicals and if the original finish goes away im going to repaint it black!

Try on a small srea say underneath where you won't really see it and try paint thinner or acetone, acetal itself is black throughout as long as it doesn't melt or do surface damage to the material I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.
