If you saw a product called "Aircraft Remover" (blue container above), what would you have thought it did? It's actually an industrial strength paint remover. Kyle & I didn't have any aircrafts to remove from his garage, but we did have a lot of paint to strip off the bike frame.
There were two pieces of the frame that needed stripping. I have no idea what they're actually called. The first round of stripping involved holding the metal frame with wire coat hangers & spraying paint stripper all over them:
We hung the frame parts off the garage roof and waited for something to happen...
After half an hour, some of the paint started to blister & peel away from the frame:
The bubbly silver paint got brushed off using the wiry metal brushes, and quite a lot came off! (picture to the right) Since we were all out of "Aircraft Remover", paint stripping was over for the day. Most of the stickers and a pretty thick coat of paint remained on the frame, which I left in Kyle's hands to finish.
Here are the non-bubbly parts we had at the end of the night:
