Landing Gear forks stripping

(1/3) > >>

rideandy:
Right I have finally got hold of some unstapped Landing Gear forks off Ebay.
I was hoping to get a mint pair but knowing that I will be having them coated I decided to go for a pair that need stripping, cleaning and a bit of elbow!

What’s the best way to  strip down to bare ali?

I will post pics when there in my hands.

Cheers

Ok, never knew thay were crome.

I need to strip old paint off.
Is it alright to powder coat over crome?
Cheers

Cro-mo is steel ( as in what they're made of ) , strip the paint off with nitromors & should be bare steel then ready for re-powder  ;) .
