Aint done yet! I used a stripper called Tal-Strip II. $7.80 at O'Reilleys Auto. 2 cans with do a TR frame and fork lowers... but just. Instructions:
1. Brew coffee.
2. Put on slippers and go out to the garage.
3. Tear down beloved bicycle.
4. Place frame in large tub and hose it down in nice coating of Tal-Strip II.
5. Go inside and fill large cup with tasty java, ponder putting pants on, then discard the idea.
6. Drink coffee with right hand while washing perfectly good paint off a fresh raw frame with your 2-gallon jump sprayer and hot water.
7. Flip frame over, spray other side down, refill coffee.
8. Repeat step 6.
9. Refill coffee, post pictures on Pinkbike, again shoot down the idea of getting dressed, continue on to couch.

Luscious paint on the way!

 How long do you think it'll take?

 to strip or to get paint?

 nice fucking job, man !!!...thanks for posting the infos and can't wait to see it done...I hope you overcame the desire to trade it for something else !!!...can't see riding anything else for now...until the carbon version comes out...also, don't crush my dream of getting one, again...haha

 Sorry man! But like I wouldn't love one as well!

 Man im thinking of Rawing my 2011 raw Tr450 !!!! Looks good man.

 Looks so sexy raw... there's little details I never noticed before that I can see now... But Im still painting it. Just gotta!

 How did the paint come out of the welds, did you have to use a wire brush or anything to get it out?

 I literally did absolutely NOTHING other than spray it, watch the paint crinkle up, then wash it off with water. What didn't come off I sprayed again, watched it crinkle up, then washed it off with water!

 Sweet! I wasnt sure how it would be around the welds. You mentioned scraping off the logos, what did u use?

 Haha... the plastic spoon I had in my coffee. Seriously dude...My ass didn't leave the chair, and I never put my coffee down.

 Bwahahahaha! Fuch's you rule!

 I do what I can... er...actually...I do as little as I can!

 Took about an hour. My tip will be to spray it down, wait a few seconds for the paint to start bubbling up, then scrape the lettering off(paints 2-3 times as thick where the lettering is, atleast on the 450), then respray that area again.
And do NOT wait to long to wash the trashed paint off! If it dries out it's even harder to get off. Basically you can spray it, count to 20 and wash it off! Oh, and maybe just do small sections at a time so you have a place to pick it up by if needed?

 Leaves computer and shop and goes and buys tal-strip..... What do I want to raw first...

 Im rawing my 250 I am pretty sure, make it all sick looking for new owner. Did you use a wire brush to help remove the gunk?

 FFUUU!!! I may need to buy that as much as you are pimping out! Will you take $1 a day payments for the next 2,500 days....

 for the next 3000 days

 I was pretty much throwing out a number. Not bad of a guess tho. Will you take a trade on a specialized sx? It can do bar spinnies? HAHAHAHA

 No trades bro, already have a slope bike that does bar spins.

 But it's the same bike the Claw uses!!! It has to be the bestest...

 No its not! His frame has a different rear end that is half an inch shorter because he didnt like the long ass chainstays on that thing, sorry DIRT for pinging your dashboard with our conversation LOL

 I am not sorry Dirt, should give you something to do while waiting for that to get back from paint...

 No worries... not like this is about anything uber technical! It's about pretty colors! lol! Ping on, I love entertainment as much as the next fat kid who should be riding his bike instead of making girls want to own it...
