Taking all the paint off my bike!! // Paint Stripped Mountain Bike Build

This week I set out to strip all of the paint off of my bike. I had to idea to have a raw aluminum mountain bike for awhile now, but I just never got around to it. It ended up taking me ~20 hours to get the frame taken apart, stripped, and put back together again, but I think it was totally worth it. Enjoy my raw mountain bike build.

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 🤘

So on that frame where paint chipped did you need to touch up with a clear coat of some sort to protect the frame or did you leave it?

[@robinrai4973]

I'm doing this now and good GOD I wish the paint stripper would work like that on my bike ha

[@SloppyPasta]

Did you happen to finish the frame with any clear coats or wax or anything? If not how is it holding up? I want to achieve a similar non mirror polished raw look on my aluminum frame too. Looking for tips and advice. Thanks.

I actually did not hit the frame with anything after. After about a month or so from polishing it with steel wool the frame starts to oxidize again, which makes it just look a little white and chalky, but does not damage the frame at all. It gets pretty dull but I personally like the dull look.

[@finnbachler7687]

what size bike do you ride?

[@nicomenanno5836]

Shout out to me for finding the throlt

[@michaeloppenheimer1033]

pls tell me what paint stripper you used

[@JMCycle]

We used rust-oleum aircraft remover, which is what worked best for us 👍
