Ben John-Hynes Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 it depends on if they stripped it before they painted,if they didn'tit'll be the bronze colour,nitromorse will strip the black paint and strip the bronze too!= ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 The nitromores won't strip the original paint off because it's anodised, you will need caustic soda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 hello every one i am not a professional bike painter but i know that when you leave bike just "silver" but it will rust even if it is damp i know this because i have left a bike like this over night outside and it rained it became very rusty almost "duracel" colouring. the only thing you can do to make it "silver2 is buy a sort of chrome paint or a clear paint but do not aply a heavy coats aply light coats.hopefully this helps good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously this is not helpful as kids my think there bikes will rust now! -All onza's 2005 bikes are NOT steel, there Aluminium-Only compounds with iron in eg, steel rust-Only help if you are helping, not confusing peopleBack to Q....If all the paint is removed you will be left with the aluminium, best way to achieve a good finish would be to polish it, and then apply a couple layers of lacquer, as aluminium dose corrode after a while and will form Alo3 aluminium oxide, and the frame will look dull-ish, that’s the oxide thin layer.Max!

basher Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 If you do polish it up after a while the frame will go a duller colour as it gets a oxide layer. So you will have to give it a polish up after a while if you want to keep it really shinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
