Whats the best way to strip two pack paint? I've tried nitromors but it just sends it into a hard splodge. There must be something that works?

Depends What it is?

If it's a Lacquered tank? Lightly score the paint with 80 grit (to open the paint to attack by the nitromors) Leave it about 10 mins and come back in with a good paint scraper and lightly lift off that layer, Reapply Nitromors and carry on like that till you're doen to where you need to be

Wash it well with loads of fresh water and only washing up detergent (no car wash additives as they have polish which will bollox your attempts at spraying)

Take it into a warm dry place for a couple of hours and dry it well then just get a cheap aerosol automotive gloss white (NOT primer as it's hygroscopic) and spray it all over the bare area that will seal the metal from oxidation and your painter can work over it or remove it easily.

If its a frame or tubular Bead or shot ,blast is the way!
