Cleaning or stripping the frame...

[nORMAN tINKER]

Is there a preffered way of doing this? Products? I understand having it chemicaly dipped is an option. What type of outfit offers this service and whats the rough cost?

Thanks Guys!

Here is my advice:

If you have a sander with a wire 'cup brush' use it first for all the areas that you can easily get too. BE CAREFULL. Then use regular ol' paint remover to get the rest. That's the fastest way and the cheatest way. USE RUBBER GLOVES. To get it stripped requires two trips to the stripper. It could take at least three or four days to get your parts back. And a healthy fee to pay. If you don't have a way to power wire brush the parts simply coat them with a heavy layer of paint remover and put all the parts inside a big yard leaf bag. The paint will be pretty much falling off the next morning.
