I would like to strip my frame (It’s a Langster) back to bare aluminium and leave it to tarnish over time – I was considering getting it powdercoated but the forks are carbon fibre so I would only be able to get the frame done and I cant be bothered with the hassel/cost of getting new forks (plus I’ll probably get round to updating the frame one day).
I don’t want the hassel of stripping it myself so have a couple of questions
Will the Armourtex dip and blast look OK uncoated?
Any other “stripper only” supplier recommendations? (In London)
If I’m only getting it dipped and stripped will I still need to remove the headset race on the forks (and if im feeling really lazy the frame) As I’m not planning to get it coated?
Finally am I mad to think of leaving it uncoated - should I at least clear coat the frame?
