Stripping Frames/forks Etc

how its done:

I don't use nitro mors cos if u leave it too long it can leave a black residue which you then have to strip with the mors :- its harsh.

I use paint/varnsih remover fomr halfords its in a cheap and nasty tin, but you can leave it on for ages and then peel it off. it may need upto 3 applications to get its all off(sometimes you are left with stuborn bits)

To get the paint off whilst its bubbling I use a wire brush which aswell as removing the paint, buffs up the forks/frame.

When its all off clean with hot soapy water.

Then I used quite a hard grade sandpaper(nothing too savage, still quite soft)

Then use really really fine sandpaper to shine her up.

Apply Braso untill it goes black then scrub like hell and its should come up real nice and shiny

I did mine bloody ages ago:
