if you wrap the frame (or whatever youre stripping) with plastic wrap (cling film) or even garbage bags after you coat it, the stripper works MUCH better. Keeps it from drying out. Dont think I'd use a torch though
U know I was thinking that, but I was worried that the plastic wld melt and cake onto the frame...but I'm glad u had the balls to do it...thanks man.....if there's bits stuck on, do u recommend brillo pad, sand paper?...any suggestions? Thanks man...thanks mate? ...I'm from WI..lol
@@christianromero6604 Depends on how much. If its a lot, go another round of stripper (covered). That stuff really softens the paint. A scraper (putty knife) even a plastic scraper should get it. After the stripper you really shouldn't have to go that hard. Then wash the frame thoroughly as you don't want any remnants of the stripper under the new finish. Y'all welcome...I'm in FL (but I dont think Ive ever heard anyone actually say that)😄
@@fishesfromtupperware lol ..I used to live in w.palm in the pg gardens a few years back.....anyways I went to Walmart to look for some stripper and couldn't it,..so I was wondering, do u know of a name brand that I CLD find, either here or from any type of store mmc
@@christianromero6604 brand isn’t that important. Look for aircraft stripper or aircraft remover. DONT use it on a carbon fiber frame! (It’ll dissolve!) wear gloves, eye protection and don’t get it on your skin. It’s mean stuff! For a bike a quart should be plenty.
I live in Madrid and being a teacher, have a lot of time off in summer. Heat is a big issue stripping and painting bike frames here. Basically have to be up at 6 to paint because by midday it's too hot to paint (30°c plus)and even the gel paint stripper starts evaporating before it's done it's business. That spray stripper looks decent, personally I usually use gel, let it do it's business then get a pressure washer on the job to knock off the loose paint. Pretty good method IMHO
After some experiments I figured out that it is the best to get the frame sandblasted. The price depends, but I found a guy who did it cheaper than buying the paint stripper. And the result is pretty much perfect and ready for primer😊
So I'm curious I have a 2022 marin riftzone 3 land their are 2 small spots on the rear triangle where the paint chipped off right to the bare alloy should I leave it and strip paint later on I was wanting a raw color frame so should I just clear coat it after I decide to strip all the paint or do I need to touch up those spots with a couple coats of clear coat just to protect the alloy over time?
I've prblm aligning my front wheel with qr, it's rubbing the pads but the calibres are in proper position it's just the that the wheel and fork are not matching up like a gf and bf
I'd stay away from the dip stuff. Probably look ok for a while but I fell like bikes, especially cargo bikes, are a bit prone to get knocked around a bit and it'll start peeling.
Hi there, really like your bike projects. But maybe you like to reduce the background music in the spoken sections a little. Much appreciated. Anyway: Keep up the good work!!! Greetings from Germany
I bought and tried some of this in February this year, I stripped a 1980s Raleigh Record frame to bare metal. The stuff was... okay, it did the job eventually, but left me with some lumps I couldn't remove without serious elbow grease. It wasn't the 'spray on - peel off' solution it promised. In the end I used a wire wheel on an angle grinder, and wire cups on a drill for the frame lugs, and my frame is now spotless. Took about three hours. For a complex frame like the Kona I think I'd get it chemical dipped, because life's too short to spend it scraping and sanding all those joins.
Methylene chloride (dichloromethane) is the “magic” ingredient in paint stripper / gasket remover that makes the job a breeze. Look for it in the container small print or on the Safety Data Sheet to confirm. The efficacy of methylene chloride is much greater than limonene-based paint strippers.
Try dragonfly glaze By The Company Plaid It Comes In 6 chameleon Colors But MUST Be Painted Over Black For Full Effect It Comes In 4 oz. Bottles And You Brush it on, So I Suggest One Coat Brush one Way Then Next Coat Brush The Opposite Way. And Repeat As Much As You Like The Colors Are VERY Bright in The Sun A Real Eye Grabber! It's A Glaze So You Don't Have To Clearcoat
Ask your children what colour they would like the bike in or if you show them these shortlisted colours, get their ideas. I'm looking forward to the transformation.
I’ve repainted numerous bikes over the last 25/30 years and completely stripping all the old paint off is unnecessary about 95% of the time. In most cases I just wet sand the old paint with 300 grit to scuff the surface then clean with acetone and a tac cloth and you’re ready for paint, don’t even need to prime.
Well, this is the only thing that made it good leaving the EU. We here in the EU can't get this type of paint remover anymore for over a decade. Environmental reasons.
Okay I'm just seeing way too much pink on bicycles. It's like pink has become the new flat black or something. I vote for a high-vis yellow frame, orange fork.

Que decapante me recomiendas ? Es carísimo todo lo que encuentro, casi me va a costar más quitar la pintura que el propio cuadro 😂
@@marcosdo995 V33, es la mejor que he encontrado en España. €15 más o menos

Never Sand Blast Aluminum You Leave Tiny Pits In The Frame
That plasti-dip paint is cool, but it sometimes peels of if a rock hits it. I got it on my car and I need to fix it from time to time
So I'm curious I have a 2022 marin riftzone 3 land their are 2 small spots on the rear triangle where the paint chipped off right to the bare alloy should I leave it and strip paint later on I was wanting a raw color frame so should I just clear coat it after I decide to strip all the paint or do I need to touch up those spots with a couple coats of clear coat just to protect the alloy over time?
I now own that bike that Marlon burned! Can't believe you featured it in this vid hahaha. She is a beauty!
He Just compromised The Heat Treating & Strength Of That Frame
@@msruddockable you need much higher temps to compromise strength than a surface level consumer blowtorch - engineer
what spray did you use?
what type of paint do you use for a re-spray
I've prblm aligning my front wheel with qr, it's rubbing the pads but the calibres are in proper position it's just the that the wheel and fork are not matching up like a gf and bf
any idea when your restocking Save Old Bikes HOLOGRAPHIC stickers bro?
Do each of the rear tubes a different color, the kids will love all the different colors, 👍👍

Why not taxi cab colours 🚕🤔

What's going on with your saddle.
Pink flouro fade to orange flouro… fade to yellow flouro… fade to polished aluminum in the front! And a solid pink fork.
Have a look at classic Marin MTBs, some paint jobs could be an inspriation!!??

Y2K glamour clear coat it gets you auto body gloss results. It’s shelf life is one or two days once activated
iirc that stuff is super toxic so be sure to use proper protection
Would like to see a sticker logo making video and how paint is layered on backwards

You could use brake fluid instead
Well, a good environment is also nice right? 😅
Or pay 30 quid to a good media blaster
