Give it a scuff with sandpaper and use aircraft paint stripper. It will come off no problem.

that frame looks so bitchen in black

[honda02]

Swingarms are not ment to be black with all the rock dirt ect flying around it will not look nice for to long black.

Silver is the best color for the swingarm in the dirt we will see how the frame powder coating hold up.

Kinda of black rims for were I ride they dont look nice after a couple of ride they just get sand blasted.

yeah, I hear ya, I just remember the hassle that was involved in that powdercoating and its a bit of a bummer that its just getting stripped right off the trail riding we do here would flat out destroy that coating in no time.

I kinda want to see how it going to look with just the frame powdercoated I last bike the frame was powder coated it seem to hold up Ok.

But I know if it had Powder coated swingarm it would been destroryed in a couple of rides my last bike had had silver rims the rear wheel was sandblasted just from riding the bike front looked OK those riders with the colored rims look cool but would not last to long out here either.

I recived my frame from frank today threw the forks red plastoics on the roller with all black frame I like it as is I going to leave it alone until the powder coating get screwed up then remove it I still have a lot to do to it still
I had to order a new set of bars for it I thought they were 7/8 bars they are 1 1/18 bars on it I like the Twin Wall bar better anyways.

I also purchased a FMF silencer off of E-Bay It had a crack in it so The seller said he would refund my money for it so next week I order a new PC Silencer for it.

Almost have it ready to ride just the little stuff now, and more money.

Ok I Stripped the swingarm today with paint stripper worked out great the only draw back was the finnish of the swingarm form them sandblasting for the podwer coating looked kinda bad.

I end up putting some silver paint on the swingarm at least when it comes off it will"t look as bad aa the Black powdercoating would of.

[honda02]

This what I have so far still waiting for more parts to show up.

Looks better than I thought it would that way, but can see your point when the frame gets beat on.
