Spent hours applying layer upon layer of nitromors, scrubbing, more layers, more waiting. Took off about 1/5 of the paint on the frame.
Took it to a guy who had a huge vat of follic acid and that stripped the lot off, all except the filler over the welds. Then spent another few hours sanding back the filler. All good now.
Only worry is that I left the integrated headset in the frame when he dipped it in the acid. He said all it would do would strip the oil and lube so I just added more when I rebuilt the bike. Anyone foresee any issues with this?
