So I'm hoping to make a bit of bike porn of my own using an old alu Giant TCR frame, want to strip it to the bare alu then add some carbon, unbranded deep sections and a sweet all black groupset. Wanted to know if anyone has stripped an alu frame of all the paint and what's the best stuff to use? What about the fork, should I rather try buy a matt carbon fork?

Plascon Removall. Works well. Apply, wait, wipe paint off. Repeat. You'll need to work the tricky areas like the rear dropouts etc. Kitchen Zim (the green bit of the yellow kitchen sponge) works well to clean the frame up.
