Recommend me a Paint Stripper

[kase1983]

hey all

Have tried Nitromors and it didn't even make a dent,

trying to remove paint from an old frame before sand blasting and painting.

Anyone know off anything that a high street shop can sell me?

All the best

Was it the enviromentally friendly Nitromors?

I've used Nitromors and scotch brite pads to some success. Failing that the local powder coaters and a tenner would cover it I reckon.

I dunno about this one Paint stripper or painted stripper?

i cant recommend you paint stripper, but if you go to crawley, there are plenty of strippers there

if Epoxy paint , it will take a few attempts to get it off .

on a stumpjumper it only took a few minutes , whereas on a yeti it took ages .

Would it be better to let them shot blast it off as it would take them about 15-20 minutes to do ?

^^depends on what the frame is made of. Shotpeening or sandblasting carbon or aluminum is not generally recommended.

If it's a steel frame a blow lamp and wire brush will shift it. If it's an alloy frame or you don't fancy the blow lamp attack try sanding the top layer of paint/laquer down before applying the stripper. I've found Wickes paint remover pretty good and fairly cheap.
