    I hate paint stripper. Also on aluminum frames, if the paint is not chipping I figure the primer/base coat is better than anything I will put on so I try to keep it, sand it just enough to smooth it out and give a good layer for the new paint to adhere to. That said I’m kind of impatient also… 😂 and not a pro painter.

    Always a good day when we get to hang out with Spindatt. I'm not the creative type, but hopefully this gives me the motivation and energy to get an old bike off the street and actually fix it up, instead of giving up because looking at all the issues and going "aaaa scary" is easier than remembering that over the course of a year I rebuild a full bike due to worn out parts across my fleet

    Permatex gasket remover will strip pretty much anything, but as old shovel says, the factory primer is probably hard to beat for adhérence on barre métal, especially aluminium. It is much more easy to get a good bond on sanded paint that on bare metal for DYI jobs

    With paint / powdercoat that doesn't respond as well to paint stripper, use it in combination with one of those paint and rust removal wheels you can put in any drill. When I started using those, I pretty much stopped using stripper altogether. Takes about an hour to strip a frame, and I typically don't even get through an entire wheel. 3M makes a good one. Some paint will bubble right off with the stripper, some...not so much, and requires constant scraping and reapplication. Annoying. Plus...it freaking burns, man.

    You send it to a powder coater and have it sand blasted or bead blasted. You then either paint it yourself, or have them powder coat it. Usually this is cheap and they can handle an entire car chassis and the body panels in their oven. Imagine, time saving, cost effective, and eco friendly all at the same time!

      @@paulkoller8104 That actually sounds reasonable for a one off job. Just the paint for custom work can cost $200-250. So for powder coating with prep and single color I think that's reasonable. The only way I could see less is if you let them use a color they were already running for another job so they didn't have to buy custom powder.

In my case I think the guy was in a good mood, and I posted pics on his website. The decals were photographed and new ones were made at a sign company. That cost about $100. The seatpost was stuck and no longer made, so that got painted too.

    You can avoid the random sanding lines left behind post stripping by immediately following the successful paint stripper operation with a coarse grade steel wool, moving in the same direction as the tubes it will make light work of soft and flaky paint, leaving you with a uniform surface to start with when it comes to your abrasives.

Use a heat gun to soften, then peel it off. Any glue residue clean off using acetone. Now the frame is ready for sanding. You may start with a 100 grit (dry) and then a 200 (wet). If there are any dents or deep scratches you can use filler and then sand it down again. Spray paint with primer, then sand it with 350 (wet). You are now ready for the actual paint job.

    Paint stripper of ANY kind is terrible stuff for the environment AND the modern stuff does NOT work ...... just chuck the frame in a (Halloween?) bonfire, the paint turns to ash and will 'wire-wheel' off with ease. Yes. this method works equally well for both steel and ali frames. IF you must waste your time with paint stripper, and choose to do it outside, do it on a cardboard 'carpet' and throw the whole lot away at the end of the process RESPONSIBLY.

    I picked up a "mystery" small hardtail at police auction for $50 - looked modern(ish) - turned out to be a 2018 Giant Liv!!! Stripping it has been not fun, just like in video. Paint will solidify again, ruining your wire brushes and paint brushes so use junk you are prepared to throw out when finished.

    so between paint stripper and finish frame...how did you get rid of all the small bits of paint that the stripper didn't remove? Sandpaper, wire brush drill wheel?

    That's why my paintstripper didn't work... I thought it was because of the type of paint

    Got the same disappointment with paintstripper. I also wrapped my bikeframe in. Just like 30% got stripped a bit. 😒

    I have a 2004-ish Specialized Sirrus Comp in candy blue that got some paint damage, mostly on the top tube, in my recent move. I've been thinking about taking it down to bare aluminum around the entire diameter of the tube in the damaged spots, attempting to create a sort of "fade" from blue to bare. It may not work, but if can get it even close the effect should look pretty good and will be a lot easier than a full repaint. My plan is to use 100/200 dry then 400 grit wet sandpaper. The front derailleur and bottom bracket (seals are literally gone) need an overhaul anyway, so they will come off, but given the damage location, pretty much everything else can stay on.

    Literally just got done doing this to a cheap huffy frame with a lot of surface area. Used citristrip. Was a grueling process without a blaster

    Love my poseidon redwood. But that paint scrapes off easy. Figure on a year or two I'll get it painted light blue. But geez, might get place to blast it fore powder coat.

    I'm working on restoring a old poprad and one of the things on the list is new paint. I would love to learn how to make stickers that can replace the old lemond logos, when I re-spray it.
    PS. follow-up to the last video comment - took the bike to a shop and the seat tube just had corrosion in it and I have some wire brushes for a drill coming monday. Hopefully it will in tip top shape soon.

    I had same poor results from that stuff, ended up using a drill with wire wheel to strip my steel frame.
