You don’t need rubber gloves! If you get some on your hands (which you shouldn’t except very ocassionally), just rinse off with COLD water. Paint stripper these days is watered down for health and safety reasons. If your existing finish is powdercoat or stove enamel, you might find that Nitromors will only soften the paint.
This is how I did my frame recently:
Apply nitromors, allow a few minutes. Stickers and some paints bubble up really quickly. Scrape this loose stuff off and then immediately re-apply the stripper all over.
15-20 mins later, use a spokeshave or a stanley knike with a rounded off tip (use a wetstone to grind away the tip etc). Slice off layers of paint as much as you can get off.
Re-apply paintstripper, wait 15 mins and scrape off any stubborn bits then use a coarse scotchbrite pad to get right down to the metal. Wirewool clogs quickly, sheds steel fibres and isn’t so effective at getting paint off.
Awkward nooks an crannies can be dealt with using a brass sparkplug brush (£2 from halfords). Really awkward bits require a Dremmel with a wire brush bit or a carborundum tip – be careful and wear glasses when using a Dremmel. The idea is to not remove metal, but those carborundum tips are pretty soft. Go very gently and you will be fine.
Wash down and then lightly go over the frame with 120 grade wet and dry. Finally wash and then dry off with a clean rag.
One gleaming bare metal frame! 😀
You could try finding someone to blast clean the frame, but these firms often empoly “numpty” who will blast away bearing surfaces and threads at the same time. (I had an antique bedstead blasted once, they wrecked it because they couldn’t be bothered to remove all the brass components – even though the boss promised they would)
Powder coating after this is best as it is very durable and fills any small imperfections as it bakes on. Expect to pay £25 for a typical bike frame.
