Aaand first layer of fluro paint after 3 coats of a white sand-able primer

BaseCoat drying..

Got the build thread up.. See the paintstripped frame there http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197080

I got my amp about a year ago and quickly decided I wanted to make it unique and my own. This is after all my Unicorn bike and has long been an object of desire. But it was missing an amp fork so I had to hunt one down. These aren't easy to find I soon found out. But finally I found one for a...

Yes, strippers will burn you if you blast them with water.... And you will get thrown out of the bar aswell... :) But yes, thanks for pointers :)

well finally the horst link was separated, old bolts drilled out and ever so slightly larger threads cut in so I can now use a standard 5mm allen bolt. :) Front triangle is stripped and is currently being prepped for paint work. Next step is stripping the anodizing of the legs of my F4 BLT...

I think ill pass on the tape since im planing to have them painted & clear coated :) Fluro yellow like the front triangle, stem & handlebars :)

Also, whats the best way to prep the frame after stripping before I apply the acid etch primer? I want to make sure all the paintstripper is washed off. Any special method or just water and soap?

Started stripping my Amplifier frame today. Coming along nicely except I have a problem scraping the damn paint out of the cable holders. Any magic tips around? Or just more paint stripper? Im using some Eco friendly stuff since nitromors isn't sold in iceland. It does behave in the same way...

They are anodized. (both the f4 and the F3 XC) Whats the correct way to remove ano? or is it even necessary since im going to apply primer and then paint it ending with a clear coat..

Does anyone have the Amp Research Logo in high res or AI format ? its for custom decals on my fork and frame etc. pm me and ill give you my email

Thank god your gonna ditch that horrid stem.. Loose the risers too :) great bike

Theese are the best frames & forks if you want something light, rides well but can be maintenance heavy if you ride them allot. Got the same that im repainting and customizing with a B4 fork.

thats a 1991 :) The 1993 had a triangular top tube.

Im going to have the legs of my f4 BLT resprayed. Ive been looking at the legs and wondering if regular paint stripper works on that surface. (its the same finish the f3 XC has)

Had a manitou 3 on my Amplifier / B2.. Nice fork and all but I hated not having an amp fork on it.. So i got a F4

Currently in the process of respraying / full customizing mine. Will take out the shocks, replace oils etc, will be doing the same with my B4 FLT fork and then it will be ridden hard. :) Fluro yellow / polished alu / black Mongoose amplifier coming up.. :)

Any chance you could mail me a couple? :) 2 screws in an envelope and a note saying "Consider yourself Screwed" :)

Mongoose Amplifier... :) but i may be biased...
