Using citristrip to remove paint.

[Big Moe]

How well does it work? I'm getting ready to strip the Twin. Or should I just have it media blasted?

The times i’ve used it I haven’t had very good results. This is the paint remover I use, let sit for 10-15 minutes, the paint blisters up and sometimes changes color, use a plastic brush and rips the paint right off.

Blast it! Much faster and easier!!

+1 on blasting

+1 on blasting, kills two birds with one stone. I chemically stripped this frame and then had to deal with all the damn rust. So I blasted it after the chemical strip verses giving it a bath in a tub of acid. I don't do chemical strips anymore, waste of time.

Thank you GTs58,

I especially appreciate the contrasting photos since they are very helpful to the learning process; that’s the crazy thing about this hobby and many others, I guess. Sometimes, you got to pony-up to get the desired result or have the appropriate equipment..... I’m still learning
