I think so yes. I had a real job getting very thick hand painted enamel off my RRA frame, never really worked and ended up having to get it re-enamelled. I found I could get the top layer off with a LOT of gentle rubbing and turps etc, but was nigh on impossible to not remove the original under paint as well.

Nail polish remover/acetone works for me (sometimes).

Yes I'd noticed that. All this information helps to fill in some of the blanks and create a story for the bike.
Has anyone got any ideas for removing the old paint? It looks like my frame has been hand painted. A previous owner appears to have scraped off some paint looking for the head logo and BB manufacturer. I want to be able to remove the paint in layers in case any original finish remains. Does normal paint remover affect the original enamel finish?
