Stripped the paint off using VHT paint stripper. It was more reluctant to come off than the lacquer from the front fork tubes. I used nearly half a can on this lot - which is costly. I will look for some cheaper paint stripper.
I would really like to pop these in an Ultrasonic cleaner now just to clean the passages and other places difficult to reach. Need to buy one first.
Several questions:
1. Do I paint or powder coat?
2. If painting, what do I use to prepare the part with (my last couple of painting attempts have resulted in some bubbling when I have cured them).
