Skylark Posted April 27, 2014 Share Plascon paint stripper is about the best but if the paint is epoxy it'll do diddly squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted April 27, 2014 Share Cool, thanks, will give it a try. And then once that is done - any recommendations for how/where to give it a nice coating? Most people seem to get them sand blasted (why?) and then powder coated.. I'm looking for a professional glossy looking finish ideally. I'm based in Stellenbosch so any local options would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littigator Posted April 30, 2014 Share I can offer my services, prices start at R1250 for single colour respray on frame and forks using basecoat and clearcoat (best gloss finish), this includes removal of existing paint. I am also coming out to Stellenbosch in the next week or so to collect a bike and then re-deliver a couple of weeks after, so could collect and deliver yours back at the same time for R50 each way. PM me if you want more info and a detailed quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted April 30, 2014 Share Thanks Fanie. Like many I was disappointed that the stripper was of the paint variety - even though that's exactly what I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
