Thanks Max!
Paint is off, it took 4 or 5 coats of Nitromors which was a bit tedious. Plastic scraper, brass wire brush and green scouring pad. I know there are stronger paint strippers out there, but it wasn’t too bad. Just got a bit painful getting every last tiny speck in the welds and cable stops!
Frame looks amazing now the paint is off. A few tiny scratches but no dents. I looked through the old catalogues and worked out that I was given this bike for my 15th birthday in 1997. I think it’s pretty amazing that it has survived teenage mountain biking, uni student life and city commuting for over 20 years without any damage.
I reckon the brushed metal looks great. Next up is clear coat. I have spray.bike lacquer, will go slow to avoid any drips!
