Re: Re:

On that note, I'm very tempted to rattlcan spray a carbon frame. The lacquer is peeling in places and the colour is crap anyway. Was going to have it done professionally, but was quoted between £400-£600, which is worth more than the frame to me. Nitromorsing it will be interesting

If you got any areas that have visible weave or Kevlar cloth, be careful you don’t soften the resin. Much safer to cut it back with wet & dry.

Re: Re:

Nooooooooo!!!! Don’t put paint stripper on a carbon frame!! :shock:

Exactly that, don't put any chemicals anywhere near it.

There's a reason they want that much money to repaint it and as far as I know there are no shortcuts with carbon.

Don't be a fool man you know you shouldn't be using paint stripper on a Carbon frame, the only way to remove the paint is with a grinder and a coarse grinding wheel. If this fails 1/2 Lb of C4 plastic explosive should do the job.
