dan you seem to be the man on here for finishing coats ,i know what you are saying about
removing paint with anything ,,even water ,with the right amount of pressure ,,it just seems that this soda blasting is less harsh on the frame
leaving a nice smooth finish ,giving a better prep for the final coat ,,theres even a clip on youtube soda blasting a coke can
now to be able to blast a coke can and not damage the can ,must be good ,,as you probally know ,if you tried to blast it with
a conventional blaster it would rip the shite out of the can
just seems like a nice way to prep your frame to me

glen, normal paint stripper will be the smoothest way you can strip a bike, any blasting no matter how smooth will
leave a texture on the metal, the best way is good ole stripper then 400 grit, your frame will come out as smooth
as a babbas bum as long as you get someone decent to paint it ;) trust me on this :daumenhoch:
