Decided to try stripping a paint chipped No Jive tonight. I’m semi happy with the results. A little too aggressive with the sandpaper and I couldn’t get every bit of the old blue paint out on one side. Might try adding some stain and lacquer for fun tomorrow. Good learning experience though. I might try modding the other paint chip No Jives in the future.

Nice. Looks like a old yoyo. I liked the red with black stripe, I hope you didn’t strip them all other than the black one. ---

I’ll probably strip another couple of them,but not all. Maybe the black ones with paint chips. I have a couple cool ideas for the stripped ones. :wink: Jason ---
