Just found out that the exhaust on my 29 is stainless steel ,which is nice. But the previous owner has sprayed it black( probbably to avoid cleaning it) .
Whats the best way to get all the paint and rust off without doing too much damage??
I was thinking i may have to get it bead or vapour blasted??

Yeah i was thinking some of that stuff would get it off. Off to B & Q then!!

SS does rust, eventually.

oooh never knew that.. done a google search but couldnt find anything useful, but dont suppose you know what conditions can cause SS rust ?

Stainless steel will rust just like mild steel, only it is much more resilient to it. So conditions like wet salty roads (I wonder where we can find them?), will make them rust pretty quick if not looked after... like mine. Although the rust is only very light.

Also depends on the grade of the SS, there are a few of them.
