Hi team

The engine fins are starting to get blackened round the edges now but I am having severe trouble cleaning it up again. I don't want to get in about it with a wire brush as I am assuming it is silver paint and not bare metal.

I am guessing I sprayed ACF50 too liberally on the hot areas and it has carbonised.

So any suggestions on getting it back to silver?

Many thanks everyone!!

Duncan
