that looks hot. How did you get it off?

I'll tell ya it wasn't easy! First I applied stripper gel (supposedly
VERY strong), and then began with the scraping. Wasn't coming off that
well so I reapplied several coates of the stipper, let it sit, then
scrapped again.

Finally, I hosed it down, dried it and took most of the reamining paint
off with my brass grinding wheel. Then for the smaller detail removal I
used my dremel withg a small wire wheel briush. Final detail was done
with 0000 steel wool, then coated with matt clear spray. Lots of work
but a nice result!🙂

Nice, I was going to do that to my kh muni too so I went to the store
with Evan and Cody to get paint stripper but we are now 18 so they
wouldnt let us get it.
It looks good.

I'd be afraid for Cody to have paint stripper, the people at the store
probably made the right choice haha 😉

When I get bored with the natch look I'll do camo again. That looked
pretty cool on my long-gone (sold) DX Muni.

Whoa that's nice, but I'm a tad color blind so that looks like it's been
painted another color! How did you "polish" it? The finish looks
completely different than mine.

Terry if you want the polish look, I've done a lot of car parts. A
buffer and the right compound and that should polish fast. Kind of
makes me want to do that but I have the whole blue mojo going now.

The trick to paintstripper is use a lot, make sure it gets in all the
corners, and leave it for an hour before you start scraping.

Sure you can. But you might want to consider just having it "powder
blasted", which is like sandblasting but it won't "pit" the aluminium.
Shoudn't cost more than $20 to have it done. If I had to do it again I
would opt for the powder blasting over paint stripping, which is just
messy and time consuming.

These are some awesome looking munis but, isn't there something
fundamentally wrong with a shiny, clean municycle? Kinda like a
mountain bike without mud. Or an awesome offroad vehicle that's clean
and polished and obviously never saw a dirt road.

Of course I know that MuniAddict isn't afraid to get his dirty😉

I agree. I take my onza out and roll it in the mud now and again so
that it looks like I've been doing some hard core dirt riding. 🙂

The reason that stripped and buffewd KH 20 looks green is that it's
reflecting back the color of the grass around it. The uni frame itself
being almost a mirror. I sort of like Terry's military matt silver.
The whole shiny thing seems plain wrong on a Muni, as the nice British
woman pointed out.

It hasn't been used since the stripping yesterday, but it will get a
good ride today and hopefully get some good ol' dirt on it! And I'm
also going to keep it un-polished, with just the matt finish...I don't
want to blind anyone with a super-shiny MUni!😄
