Removing Shaft Graphics

[chris17 0]

Does anyone know a way to remove the graphics from a shafy without harming the shaft. I have one of the old green z-bubbles and want to take of the graphics.

Thanks,Chris

on my old response i rubbed DW40 on a towel and rubbed that on the shaft and it took the paint right off.

I was just going to ask that.

I heard that it's like red and black or something like that.

my response is red/black underneith.

I used some steelwool to scratch the paint off though. It hurt my fingers, but it worked.

wd40 is dw40, it was most likely a typo!

I was working in the garage one day and my little kid neighbor from across the street comes over and asks "can I borrow some beautiful beauty?" and I'm like "what?" and than he gives a description of it and I finally conclude that he wanted WD40

Off topic, but I can't believe someone has a Lions avatar with "...try to stop us" in it.

i took all of the paint off my response except for the "response" Graphic and coated it with polyurethane to seal the graphite. Its so kool. its looks like a red light aramid. and yes, it is red and black under. ill take a pic once i can find my camera

on rubber responses its a light pink. some kid thought hed be cool and scrape it off... till he saw what it looked like. you could tell he fealt like an ass. :D

[Guest phillyfan]

Pink=ass? No way. Pink stick would be an awesome move by a company, do you know how many wise-anuses would go out and buy one to be cool? The same amount of kids that think "Pink Studded belts" or a Pink Polo are cool......stupid, yes, smart marketing, highly likely!

[mack 44]

So how many of those belts do you currently own?

[Guest phillyfan]

Only the one you bought me. ;)

haha ya all this talk and noone has helped me get my graphics off my Z BUBBLE lol

I would highly recommend u not using any sort of chemicals on a composite stick, u never kno what happens when chemicals react to kevlar/graphite, it mite weaken the material or casue it to expand or other wierd side effects and i dont see why u dont want the zbubble graphics, who cares waht it looks like as long as its good, u could try scrapping it off but i doubt u have the free time or the patient to carry throught with scatching. A friend of mine spray painted his stick black cuz he hated the graphics but i can only imagine the damage the paint does to the palms of ur white gloves.

Bottom line dont be a fashion statment just go out there and play ur game.

Amaze them with ur moves if your good. If someone goes out there wth old tube skates and lites it up it doesn't matter his skates cost him $10.

sorry to drag up an old topic...but that's what happens when you search... :) ...anyways...did you have to do any scraping? and how long did you have to rub the shaft...(yikes...is there a better way to say that?)

i'm just wondering how easy it is to do...

also...does anyone know how much spray paint will affect weight?...i like light shafts...so i don't want 50 grams of paint...but i'm not sure how much paint weighs (although i don't know who would either ...thanks
