nitromors will do it.

but not anywhere near as fast as it does on rattle can paint.

it's a long job

if it's just a set of forks, then plod on. but a whole frameset? i'd leave it on. spray over it.

should be able to

as long as it's flat

powder usually goes over anything!!

if he doesn't like to powder over powder, chances are he will have a good method up his sleeve on how to get it stripped

have a chat with dan about it mate,

it took me ages to strip my frames and dan needed to sand blast them anyway as there was still bits of paint in the welds and nooks & cranies,

dans a top bloke i'm sure he wont mind you asking him ;)

With powder coat you can super-heat it or acid dip - I'm pretty certain Dan can do both so deffo worth dropping him a line  :daumenhoch:

ok guys  the answer to the questions,

yes i can powder over the original coat but don't like to as you loose definition in the

welds,  serial numbers ect,

acid strip is good but i find it lifts powder really quick but two pack takes ages :)

and shotblast is the best way but only fine shot ;)

and finally  i can sort out all three :coolsmiley:
