Stripping twin pack paint

[Rob Farmer]

I have an old R100 tank that needs stripping. It was painted years ago by a car sprayer and is apparently twin pack paint. Any ideas on stripping it?

I've tried nitromous but that just turns it into a sticky mess that hardens up after a while.

Nitromors is crap. The current retail stuff is as good as rats piss
If you have a good motorfactors near you, try to get some proper stuff with dichlromethane in it.

The tin ware on my R60/2 had been powder coated and the only thing that would touch it was Powder and Paint stripper from Frost. It is expensive but I am sure they also sell 1 litre sizes: http://www.frost.co.uk/eastwood-powder-coat-paint-dissolver-3-78-litres.html

They sell a POR15 kit to clean and line M/C tanks as well which I have found superb: http://www.frost.co.uk/por15-motorcycle-fuel-tank-repair-kit.html
