Had a Streetbeat painted not powdered by Dan about 3 years ago but didn't have original forks for it :-[ Scored a set on the Bay and have decided to strip the bugger and something a bit different.
Trouble is Nitromors just doesn't seem to cut it nowadays :tickedoff: Wots everyone using to strip frames nowadays ???
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks lads :daumenhoch:

Yep - found the cheapy £2 a tin stuff works better. If it's a SBD powder job, napalm won't shift it - only SBD can :daumenhoch:

They've taken out the really nasty chemicals for health and safety reason and rendered it useless. I went to a quiet hardware shop to see if the guy had some old stock of proper paint stripper and luckily for me he did. Maybe he will start selling it under the counter at an inflated price after I told him the craic...
