Hi all

A few years ago I painted my Channel master dish with plati-kote paint. This is beginning to come off with the weather. How easy would it be to remove it the paint? I dont want to damage the mesh by using any chemicals etc.

Anyone know what I can use? The dish was painted green, think I should of made it brown to blend in during the winter!

Cheers

Second thoughts just try some Nitromose but wear protective goggles over your eyes

Nitromors is nasty stuff - you dont want it on your skin, and you certainly dont want it splashing in you eyes.. Goggles are essential.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Erm, I know this sounds silly, but if Nitromors doesn't make a wooden chair dissapear, surely it won't dissolve a Metal dish....:-rofl2

Ah - but this one is almost certainly a fiberglass dish ;) They have mesh embedded in them to reflect the satellite signals
