How do you get paint off of metal?

your best way to go since the paint is already dry is to use Acetone. Make sure to remove the barell from the marker and use in a very well ventilated area. also as with Gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits and also acetone they are ALL EXTREMELY FLAMABLE, and you should use caution when working with any of them. Make sure you clean the barell afterwords to remove any residual chemical on it. ANY paint removing chemical will damage the inside of your marker, O rings will disolve as will you seels.\n\nAlso if you really want the barrel to look great you can send the whole thing, marker and barrel to get anodized in whatever color you want. usually costs around 80-100 dollars.

Try using a petroleum product. Gasoline works amazingly well, but smells horrible. You can also use nail polish remover. be sure to wash your hands well after removal with soap and water. Then apply a lotion to insure that your hands do not dry out.

The best way to do this, unless you are experienced with refinishing, is to take the bike COMPLETELY apart... all the parts, drive out all the bearing cups, everything that isn't painted to begin with, then have the frame sandblasted (or blasted with walnut shell if it is aluminum) and take it to an auto body shop. Once the frame is blasted it MUST be primered almost immediately or it will start to rust in hours. Someone at the shop will likely paint it for you pretty cheap. \n\nIf you want to try it yourself with spray cans, do this:\nFirst, you shouldn't use ENAMEL unless you have it professionally applied and baked on. Spray cans are formulated to be used in a wide range of temperatures and humidities so they never dry "just right". Even if you got fancy with some tin foil and spotlights you would probably only end up with an even softer finish.\n\nHere is a quick (sort of) process to follow:\n\n1) After completely disassembling the bike have it sandblasted to remove ALL the finish.\n2) Spray it as soon as possible with grey sandable lacquer primer. Duplicolor paint is all lacquer, I think, and you can get it from your local autoparts store. Buy the BIG cans, not the small ones. Apply at least 3 coats, 1/2 hour apart. Don't worry about light runs for now.\n3) Wait at least 48 hours. Sand the primer using 220 grit aluminum oxide paper (white in color) until the surface is smooth. It shouldn't take much unless you have a lot of runs.\n4) Using a tack rag, lightly go over the entire frame (don't rub!) to remove the sanding dust.\n5) Apply several light coats (6 or 7 perhaps) of the color of your choice. Follow the directions on the can. Again, use LACQUER, the same brand that you used for primer. Apply coats 1/2 hour apart. Be sure you cover every part and do NOT get runs. If you get runs you are applying it too heavily.\n6) Apply the LACQUER clear cost, perhaps 6 coats.\n7) Let the frame alone until you can't smell the paint anymore when you get up close and take a big whiff. If you can smell it, it ain't dry! This will take 2 to 3 days at least.\n8) Using white paste polishing compound, follow the directions and polish out the whole frame.\n9) Do NOT wax or wash for at least 10 days.\n\nIf you rush this you will end up with a sloppy mess and you'll kick yourself for ever trying. However, if you take your time and do it right it'll be a very cool feeling.

the metal is simply not exposed to the outside oxygen - it is shielded from it by the paint, which itself contains little, if any oxygen

Not every kind of paint will do.\n\nThe effect is quite simple: if the paint manages to separate the metal from all oxidizing agents (air, water...), there is no chance of an electron transfer between the metal and the corrosive agent, and hence no corrosion.\n\nThere must be no gaps in such a paint or protective layer of plastics.\n\nUsually, this cannot be guaranteed, which is why special coating paints containing metallic zinc or magnesia as sacrificial electrodes are used below the actual paint.

You can use the valve oil and grease. You can occasionally run warm soapy water through it (being sure to rinse it all out). Do not dry it with anything abrasive. Most trumpet metal is very easily scraped. Please note :Paper towels are abrasive.

I guess you can remove any part of a picture using paint, if you are not looking for a professional output.  All you need t  do  is to  use the paint brush tool and  run over the  desired picture which has to be removed(preferably with a sililar color as the background of the picture)  you may not get a perfect  finish but  you can still geta  reasonably good output. \n- pk

The sparkly blue effect is called metal flake, the paint is blue and it has shiny metal flakes in it. And the metal looks like brushed aluminum that is unpainted. If you want that particular blue then you need to find out what kind it is but metal flake can be put in any paint color you want since the metal is just shiny metal flakes.

Use a magnet. Iron is attracted to it, lead is not.
