Removing paint from nickle hardware?

Loading...

I have seen several posts on removing paint from shells, but wondering if their are any paint stripper products or methods NOT to use on nickle hardware? Latest score is a 50's era marcher that has been covered head to toe in blue and orange paint.:( Thanks in advance!

Graffiti Remover won't hurt the nickle. Some of the serious paste products might. This the Slingerland off eBay?

I do. The chorus of "Me Next" can get rather loud :-). A before would be great so everyone else knows what drum we are on about. Hope it goes well.
