Stripping paint and refinishing/repainting/powdercoating a bike

but check on a small area first

That was the plan. I learnt that lesson the hard way.

i took anodized paint off a set of alloys and it took forever even using paint stripper, first and last time!

could you not try to use sand paper and a bit of elbow grease??? just start with a medium/ fine grade wet and dry paper and then use a fine one to polish it up?

anodising comes off in seconds with caustic soda and water, or hot water to speed it up.

he does not want to remove annodising!!!

could try petro andy?

well he's lucky he didnt use caustic soda then!!! but handy hint none the less.

cockoff, it was for mullerbugs!

Yea nitromors is good, but u need gloves cos its also good at stripping skin ;)

It's the fumes that do the work with nitromors.
If you've got something that's got a really stubborn finish on it, lay the stripper on nice and thick. Wack it in a plastic bin bag, tie the top up and leave it for a while.
In that saturated air environment it'll eat through almost anything.

Search is your friend;

done the search thing, but not really enough detail, will nitromors strip off stove enamel ?
found the antique finish from fast boy and want to try it out myself... all advice appreciated

Try some Cowper's Fluid...

99.9% sure it will. Wack it on, cover it with cling film and remove just before the slop dries.

cowpers fluid ???????? spunk aa???????????????/

does it work on powdercoat too that nitromors stuff?

yes, just put it on very very thick

I stripped a guitar once with nitromors, it was really sunny outside and I was only wearing shorts. As it was warm I thought a few lagers were in order. It took about an hour to realise that I had managed to splash the stuff all over myself. Sh*t it burned!

do you got "Albastine" in the UK? If so, use that, works perfect.

Has anyone tried this (successfully) with hammerite? Just bought a lovely old frame from an ex-courier who painted it (badly) with Hammerite and then cycled before it was dry, so there's lots of dirt embedded in the paint. Would love to restore it, but also watching pennies, so considering the DIY/nitromors option.

Any ideas gratefully received...

nitromors will be fine.

Could any one help me give me tips on removing paint from a frame?
or what kind of things you use?

Have you tried searching first?
Sorry if you have and haven't found an answer.
