Interesting winter project: use sections of the scrap frame to conduct unspeakable experiments on. Various mechanical and chemical paint removal methods to characterize their impact on the base carbon/resin layer. Post results. Maybe even find friends and neighbors who will give you a wee bit of the various paint strippers they have on the shelf. Reminds me of the racks of paint samples you sometimes see out in the sun and weather - various compounds on the same base to measure durability. You can even tape off sections of a seat stay in order to test 3 or 4 methods on the one stay. Go for it Inspector Gadget.
