Heartless paintjob - powerful paintstrippers?

Posted on
  • So i got a free frame, i don't know what it is, but it is need of some serious love. I'm going to put it together as a big ugly winter bike for knocking cars off the icey roads. At the moment it's covered in layers of what appears to be:
    Thick house varnish
    Thick house paint (worst on all the joints) - (Its heartdbreaking to see)
    Possibily a layer of repainted bike paint
    Finally the original paintjob.

    What is the best way to get aaaalll of these off in one?

    Bare metal would be a dream to see.

  • Shot blasting.

  • Cheers for the advice!

    Is this an expensive process?

    Cheers

  • Not really, £20ish

    Armourtex.

  • Might have over used cheers just then,

    cheers

  • or nitromors and a wire brush if you want to do it yourself for a fiver or so

  • I was in a similar situation and Nitromors got pretty much all of it off. Just had to go round the joints with a dremel to get the last of the weird undercoat he'd put on it.

  • Yeah, i've heard alot of good stuff about nitromors, is it generally accepted as being the don?

  • it wont be as good as shot/bead blasting

  • It's good, just hard work and potentially painful

  • don't get it in your eye

  • or touch your cock

  • I heard if you get it in your eyes you get the super power to strip off anything you want with your mind?

  • or touch your cock

    or my cock

  • eeeew!

  • I've both Nitromors'd a frame and sent one for blasting- trust me when I say that the blasting option is better.

  • so are we talking cock blasting then?

  • Bathtub + Nitromors (About 20 Litres) = Beautiful Frame and no bathtub

    Worth it
