Hello all , has anyone stripped a frame back to bare metal ?
I’m doing this with an LML I’ve got , going to polish it up and have it clear coated , any tips appreciated 👍

That is going to be a pain in the arse.... Are you looking to have all the dents knocked out and have it straight as a die? A mate of mine used Nitromors and a scraper to do it, but I'd go for some sort of media blasting (which doesn't mean hitting it with a rolled up copy of the times....). I suppose you could always scotchbrite it?

Think I’m just going to get it dipped then polish it up with wet and dry paper then get it clear coated, not worried much about any dents etc, it’s quite a decent frame anyway . Is clear coat as durable as paint ?

I remember you mentioning those knotted thingies, they are still in my watch list for when I am ready to strip my thing... If you build the clearcoat up, I can't see why it won't be as good to be honest. And to be fair, by the time you managed to get it in the queue to be dipped, you could have stripped it yourself. I guess you are going for the ultimate mod scoot then instead of chromating the whole frame??? 😁

Yep I know what you're going for now. I've seen that look at hot rod shows, but that seems like so long ago.... 🤔
