So then, the day before last, I went to B&Q, picked up some cheap paint remover for £2, I was sceptical but got home and started slapping it on.
My girlfriend helping out
This is what it looked like after an hour or two
A little longer and it was like this
And then, after brushing the old paint off and starting the sanding it looked like this
You can see it was a bit rusty under the paint but its only surface rust and it'll sand out
The forks still need sanding, the stripper took them back to what looks like primer
I do some of the work, honest.
