Phil H Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Im considering stripping the paint off the front of my Onza T-Rex. I love the ride of the frame but don't find the flames too special. Im not convinced I will do it, its just an idea.How would I go about this?Heat gun?Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've been present when a friend was stripping his BMX down to chrome, it works, might take a bit of working and you need to wear some thick gloves but it should work!I'm a poser 'cos i'm amazingly sexy.

Gavyn. Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 use nitromorse or caustic soda if it's anadised, which i think it is? just paint it on and leave it for a bit then it should all be crumbling and falling of then wipe it down with a cloth or jetwash it you'll then need to polish it so get some auto sol metal polish and make it shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor the basher. Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Yoyoyo i have paint striped a couple of frames so heres how it is>1st!: Go to your local diy shop and get some Paint stripper/ nitromorse,rubber gloves,rags.2nd!: Take your bike apart.3rd!: Set a suitble area up (away from animals,small children).4th!: Put Paint stripper/ nitromorse in a container and put rubber gloves on.5th!: Take rag and dip it in the Paint stripper/ nitromorse and wipe on your frame, after you have aplied one coat leave the Paint stripper/ nitromorse to work for around 20-25 mins maby more, you may need to do this more than once.6th!: Takeold brush or rag and wipe the frame down, after wiping the frame down the frame should be stripped.7th!: You may want to spray a coat of clear laquer on the frame to give it a shine effect and also add a protection coat.Hope it helped conor(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Cheers for the response guys. I spoke to my dad about Nitromorse this morning and we have some in the garage but brought up the point it depends how/under what temperatures etc the paint was applied. Do different manafacturers have different ways of applying paint?Anyway, I will get in touch with some people who have actually done it on T-Rex's and see if they can help.Cheers.

kid creole Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I just stipped my trex about a week ago it really is a piece of piss to do , just paint nitromorse allover it wait like 5 mins then the paint crumbles and you just wipe it off and wash your frame down and thats it .your thinking way to much about it , it really is just simple and once youve done it you will agree.
