alecdavies Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Hi All,I've got an old Team Marin XC frame which has been sitting in my garage for years now but the time has come when i just need a bike to bez round Cardiff on. It really needs a respray after having a crack in the down tube welded but i need to strip all the paint off first. Anyone got any ideas as to the best way of stripping the paint. I can't really be arsed to go and get it sand blasted or chemically stripped so just things that i can do myself at home (I do have a garage with almost everything so any ideas i will probably have a tool for it!).Ps. It's a steel frame not aluminum.OK just found the wiki thing, it recommends nitro mors, any other ideas Edited October 10, 2007 by alecdavies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 nitromorse, wire wool, scouring pads are a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave6895 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I hav'nt actually ridden one but from what i've heard there quite nice to ride and pretty light but to be honest i wouldnt go modding it, its probably light enough as it is BTW try to calm down with the post, good luck if you do get it and be sure to post some pics up !AdamEdit: just realised you've been validated, congradulations now go and liven chit chat up a bit lolAs above really. Nitromorse, wire brush on a drill, sand it off with some 100grit paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
