It came up a treat, yeah no special tricks. Industrial paint stripper, a hard bristle tooth brush and a wooden scraper. I wanted to keep the raw look of the ali so I only sanded with a 2000 grit paper to clean it a little, but kept the original brushed look. Gave it a bit of a polish with Autosol before it was clear powder coated. I'm now in the process of raping my bank account every time I go to put a part on it, none of the old beat up kit seems good enough for the rebuild.Fuck that looks good!
any particular tools/methods?
Or just good ol' paint stripper and sandpaper?
I was thinking about getting some Norco decals made up for it but seeing it all back together now I think I'm going to leave it completely raw.first up it looked stunning black and stock.
ive got the LE in pretty green and blue but always planned to go raw once it got beaten up. got pics of it built up? id just put a suttle black norco down its flanks and leave it.
Wouldn't have a clue haha, not big on that but its probably pretty heavy. If you do decide to strip yours just make sure you have plenty of beer and a well stocked iPod, took me the best part of a weekend to do. Also get your LBS to order in a bearing kit for it, they kinda fall apart when you press the old ones out.hot. im lookin at mine as i type haha.
weight?
