Rover8FFR Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The other day I was pondering over the best way to start removing the copious layers of paint from the panels on my lightweight. The Nitromours gloop hassle. Sanding to create smoke clouds. Soda blasting. Etc Etc. One of the guys who works for me has just stripped a powder coated aluminium MTB frame using a Polycell product called 'Less Mess' and couldn't rate it highly enough. The way he described it sounded as thought it could be just the job. Has anyone else trialled this product. How did it react with IRR paint etc and how user friendly was it???

landyandy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 its good stuff but bloody expensive,each pot only doe,s about half a square metre depending on how thick the paint is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo1969 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 When I bought the doors for my 110 they had about 20 coats of paint on them! I used a DA sander with 80 grit discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 needle gun!!! Can't see that doing an aluminium door panel that much good, although not bad at chassis cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike65 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Been trying to get through the paint on my 109. Found nitromors stripper to be bery good on anything but the paint on the body. Sander OK but time consuming and dusty. Have been having more success with hot air gun and a chisel. The paint seem s to come off relatively easy when it gets hot.

extrogg Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 If you use Nitromors then when you've put a nice thick layer on wrap or cover it with cling film. This will stop it fromm evaporating and allow it to penetrate deeper into the paint. It works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnixartillery Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Use the stripper in the yellow tin Not green,its penatrates the paint better ! Rob....................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
