James-M Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) I would leave it personally, or get it done professionally because it would be pretty easy to make a hash of it and screw it up. Edited July 5, 2007 by trials pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 before you do anything else you should probably sit down and have a careful think about your gear ratioas for the colour - take the onza decals off using nitromorse and see what it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Unless you have an abundance of cash, I'd suggest sorting out the bashplate bolt first, so you can attach a bash again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Nitromorse won't get that paint off, I tried every kind there is to get the paint off my t-pro.I was told it was powdercoated or somthing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 wire brush attachment on the end of a powerful corded drill will remove any finish.Takes a while though and leaves an interesting pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 caustic soda will take the anodising off - aswell as the skin on your hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 No it won't, I tried that as well I dont think you tried hard enoughunless laquer they put over the stickers might stop the caustic soda getting to the metal (that's a guess btw). either way - nitromorse the shit out of it before you decide to strip it completely it'll go a slightly different colour when the laquer has been removed. You could probably spray direct onto the anodised surface if you cleaned it first cos it's quite rough - much like primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
