Hopefully getting my hands on a painted carbon fork that id like to remove the paint from and then clear coat, read an old thread on here recommending wet and dry which ill tackle if necessary but was hoping someone had discovered a less time consuming/potential for over sanding method in the intervening period, any ideas?

I've never come across an alternative; abrasive sheet is the method pros use.

Yeh I'd kind of come to that conclusion, bit of a faffy job I imagine but worth doing right.

I saw a clip of a Brazilian girl stripping her Vigorelli frame and fork with Nitromors, then painting it by hand, but not the fork, obviously.

Managed to win the ebay auction for a 3t funda pro painted in white as they were removed from a cervelo rs, paint stripping 'wetndry stylee' will begin promptly on their arrival, any ideas where decals can be sourced, anyone on here produce them with a reflective 'scotchlite' finish?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
