willis-gu Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Basically, rawing the frame down to silver, however i dont know what to use. I have been told oven cleaner works, but a little try seems like it will take hours to do. I have also been told to use nitromoss but i am not sure if it is any good or how long it will take using it! So i want something quick and easy, which will sort the job right out!! Anyone got any little tricks or ideas? Anyone recomend anything? thanks, willis x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 If it's just paint, nitromors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis-gu Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 If it's just paint, nitromors. Yeah i have been told to use that, how long does it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 It takes several coats to get it all off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 nitromors, fairly thick coat, leave for an hour, clean, repeat. (until all paint is gone obviously.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 nitromors, fairly thick coat, leave for an hour, clean, repeat. (until all paint is gone obviously.) Less than an hour... more like 10 mins. If you leave it too long it melts the paint and then it sets again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 You dont even need to leave nitromourse for an hour, like 5 mins will do and the paint will start flaking/bubbling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty007 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 You dont even need to leave nitromourse for an hour, like 5 mins will do and the paint will start flaking/bubbling off.

darrenhopper Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 +1 for Nitromores But I reckon a wire brush should speed up the process. Try not to let the bits get on your skin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Nitromors. Wire brush to kick things off, then fairly coarse wire wool to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the wire scouer pads you get from any five and dime shop like wilkos. You get 3 for 90p or sumit gay like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HargrovesToby Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 quick and easy, i tok my frame to a local metal prep place, 5 mins and £5 later, all sand blasted off with a nice finish, deal! toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 nah i wouldn't use a wire brush, you'll scratch the hell out of it Didn't with my at all - gave a really nice finish. Also, if you're using wire wool afterwards it'll give it a pretty decent finish anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Do it bare-handed, pussies! Rawed my BMX forks and bars (thick paint then thick rust-proof coating) in our living room on a piece of cardboard. It only sometimes hurts, strangely - it can be totally fine, or it'll hurt like an absolute b*****d. If you keep your wits about you you can sense if you're about to get a beasty stinging then get it off quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupintart Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Your local auto shop should have this stuff called "Aircraft remover". You literally brush it on, watch the paint/powdercoat bubble up in seconds and wipe it off. No scrubbing, brushes, or any of that stuff and it's to the metal. You can have a frame to the metal in less than an hour. Edited January 27, 2010 by rupintart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 In reference to the post above, I've looked for it all over the internet, and I can't find any uk distributors, which is a shame because it looks like it works a lot better than Nitromors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRockCowboy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Other than sand blasting the thing Id stick with the nitro-mors, ive used it many times before and just recently to strip my zoo pitbull. You can pick a large tub up for bout £7ish get a paint brush, slap it on take bout 10mins, you can sometimes see it bubble the paint straight away, prob take a few coats. It burns you skin but only a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaiTrials Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 If its speed your after use some costic soder! Did my stem from black to silver in less than 3 minutes. Vaseline or lube all the threads first and use latex gloves, is strong stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
