LanceG60 Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Lemme know...I'm grinding the thing down to bare metal because I can't get all the dirt off. I have done everything but I need a better way. Let me know..thanks Quote
bansheefreak Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 take it somewhere and have it sand blasted .... be faster and alot easier... the cut all the tabs off you don't need and ready for piant... Quote
DirtRider Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 spray some paint stripper on there and wipe it down with a scotch bright pad if your shorts on $$ other wise take his advise with sand blasting Quote
demon340 Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 or you can do it yourself the cheap way. walmart sells this stuff for 4 bucks a can and it did my frame, A and J arms, axle, and swing arm with one can. i used a wire brush to scrape the paint off and kept dipping it in gas to keep the paint from sticking to the brush. Has anyone elese used this stuff??? Quote
Banshee169 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 Sand blasting is good, I had mine glass blasted, it is a lot finer and gives alot smoother finish. Just my opinion. Any commercial painting company has this capability but you may have to talk real nice to get it done. If not, sandblasting is good too. Quote
LanceG60 Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Posted June 22, 2004 How much was everyone paying for sandblasting? Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 I've tried the Aircraft remover. All it did was burn my hands, and it took forever to get the paint off. I might have been using it wrong though Sand blasting or bead blasting is the way to go. I think I paid something like $25-$35 to get my first frame blasted. Most places that do a frame have to do it outside in a booth rather than in a cabinet, so there aren't a ton of people around here that can just do it. Quote
