  • You need a wire brush on a angle grinder

  • I've been considering this on a steel frame.
    do you even need the nitromors still or is the brush enough ?

  • Brush?! I've been using a razor blade and scraping. Would not recommend. Definitely need something to soften / remove the paint. If you're time poor, take it to Armourtex or your local car painters and get them to sand-blast it/acid dip it/whatever. Much much quicker, and probably not that pricey. Unluckily, I am currently extremely cash poor and extremely time rich.

    What I ended up doing is adding a load of white spirit to an old can of Nitromors and using the resultant gloop on the frame, then leaving it a few minutes and scraping the softened paint off. Older Nitromors uses dichloramethane, which is now banned for us peons. You can buy paint stripper off your a trade merchant, or on the sly off the internet which will still work well. I'm reliably informed that gasket cleaner will do the same thing too. It makes this new nitromors look like moisturiser in comparison.

  • TBH, if you're going to repaint yourself, you don't need to do this, you just need to sand the old paint to act as a key for the new. if you're going to strip it, nitromors will speed it up.
