Paint stripping

(1/2) > >>

CurtisEXP:
Hi all,

I have a Curtis frame that needs to be stripped. It does not have the OG finish. Thinking it was paint, I initially tried paint stripper (Nitromers) and after that didn't touch it, gasket remover (thinking it might be powder coated) and that did nothing either!  ???

I need to get the paint off to see what's going on underneath.

Is sand blasting too aggressive? Could it affect the detail of the brazing? Is there a less abrasive option? Its going to be powder coated afterwards btw.

Any advice would be gratefully received.  :daumenhoch:

A lot of guys use Synstrip John, you can buy it off eBay. It's pretty harmful stuff though by all accounts, so take care mate.

McQUEEN:
It is, I've used it and its nasty, but I did pop into SBD's once and he was using it without gloves! Its about conditioning!!

SBD is hard as nails though.  :daumenhoch:

That Swan Guy:
If it's going to be powdered then let the coater strip it and have a look at it before it's re-done.

Sod fannying about with it!
