What do I do to remove paint. And what do I do to apply the paint because a brush would not be a good choice

If your talking about the anodizing that is on your yoyo there are several ways to remove it. The first I will not mention due to the danger of it. Have it blasted off or sand it off are your other two options.
If your asking me about “painting” a yoyo you should be asking someone else. I have painted yoyos and they have turned out just fine. But when I say “powder coating” I mean a statically chared epoxy that is baked on. No brushing involved.
Which I do.
