Hello /Magnus,

Graffiti remover seems to be a mix of linseed oil and alcohol. Proceed with caution mixing your own.

Any chance you could get in contact with someone in the streets department that could suggest what they use?

Hi Creighton,

Thanks for the recipe. I feel a bit hesitant DIYing it, though. I don't anyone working professionally with graffiti removal, but I do see graffiti removers at work in the underground here in Stockholm, I could ask them, I guess. It's a good idea, thanks.

The closest thing I've found in the EU to Motsenbocker is ECGO Graffiti Remover Plastics. I would have to order it from the UK, and p&p would be rather steep, so I will wait and see if something turns up closer to home.

Hello /Magnus.

One of the many great things about your country is not much need for graffiti removal. Does make your project harder, however.

Hope the underground workers can help. Another place to check would be anyone that does car/motorcycle restorations. They deal well with getting not wanted layers of paint off while saving the orginal.

I've done that job before - mechanically - and used a polishing angle grinder (sorry, I don't know the correct wording in English) plus a polishing paste.

It was quite a time-wasting job and you have to be very carefully - but finally the bass drum was in a great shape again.

Cheers, Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for sharing. If I am to do this, I will have to find a product that removes/makes it easy to remove the paint.

Best,

Magnus
