R1 exhaust & paint

Hows that for a bad combination? Last week my back gate blew over while
I was wheeling the bike in, and gave me a streak of white paint along my
nice titanium exhaust. Anyone any ides on something other than a brillo
pad for getting paint off? I've considered paint stripper, but I fear
it'll just give me a nice even smear of off white paint. Is T-cut or
similar gentle enough for a smooth matt surface like an R1's exhaust?

Pressure washer?

Autoglym metal polish _might_ work.

Otherwise possibly try a bit of Autoglym paint/polish sealer - I've found
this works great on removing stickers/paint etc (it's a bit like using
petrol but it doesn't seem to eat things like petrol does).

 

White Spirit & elbow-grease I'd say.

I've tried White spirit, a tooth brush and a pressure washer. Alas, all
have failed to move the paint. It got good and stuck on when the exhaust
was hot. I'll give autoglym a shot, and then its on to something
abrasive...

Brake fluid removes paint if left on a while...

Dunno if it knackers nice shiney exhausts mind you...

I wouldn't use anything abrasive on that can. You'll ruin the finish.

 

Nitromors on a cloff and wash it off quick ...
