No regrets till now.. It´s like having a new bike, very easy to do this in home.. I only paid for a professional painter to apply a protection cote to the frame.. I use 1 liter of V33 paint strip, but i think that any paint strip will work fine..
Will you clear coat ? Aluminum oxidises and gets a dull look . Another option is keep it raw and freshen up the look with steel wool. Raw looks awesome.
