Anyone recommend a good stripper from B&Q etc? The paint is on a GT frame and looks pretty thick.

Are you repainting it? If so and most of the old paint is sound just rub down the problem areas with an abrasive paper blending it in to what remains. There is no point in removing good paint. Just key it all over before repainting. Just done exactly the same on an old GT frame and the results look good.

Cheers, I'm decided yet as whether to repaint it or go for the early 90s polished look.
