Subject: 'Aircraft Remover' on powdercoat?
|
I stripped an alu frame for the first time with Mar Hyde brand
'aircraft remover'. Applied liberally, waited ~10 mins and scraped
with metal scraper. Rinsed with water and repeated twice more.
Although the top coat of paint cleared off nicely, the stripper didn't
make a dent in the whitish undercoat. Had to resort to sandpaper and
a LOT of elbow grease.
Just curious whether this is a typical result. I've seen pics where
people apply stripper and the paint just bubbles off leaving nice bare
metal...this of course could be because the frame was wet-painted, or
they used some gnarly high-VOC stripper that you can't get here in
California, etc. What have your experiences been?

How'd you get an aircraft on your bike? And you removed it with
sandpaper? Man, that sounds rough.
