Stripping Frame !

[A.Baxter]

hi, i am just getting reasurance for myself.

I asked my friend about how to strip a frame and he said all i need to do is by some paint stripper, dab it on the frame with a paint brush and then keep going over it until all the paint is gone.

is this all that needs to be done or is there another step to do.

Any help will be much apreciated

oh and dose anybody hav an idea of how much paint stripper costs ?

You can buy it from any good DIY place, you can also buy it from halfords .

I think its about £10-£15 .

I haven't used it my self but I have seen people using it and they just used a wire brush to remove it . But using a wire brush can scratch the tish out of your frame .

Once your done you could just sand your frame down to get the last of the paint off .

are you going to lacquer your frame? having it raw ali? even if you lacquer your frame it will go dull with time

If you leav it raw it will go rusty in days.

If you leav it raw it will go rusty in days.

If his frame is steal then his frame will start to oxidize (rust) as soon as the air hits bare metal .

Should take a few days the discolouration to show and if it got wet then it will turn orange lol.

But if its aluminum it still oxidizes but its slightly different, it should take years to show.

if it steel still use clere laquer just put plenty on
