Haven't wielded one of those in over twenty year. But now that I've sourced one, I want one! lol...
Would this method be safe for aluminum frames too?
Use paint stripper to soften the paint
first then use the knife. Aluminium is too soft and gouges too easily to try and scrape hard paint but you can get away with it on steel.
Also depends on product your removing. If it's powdercoated just f
uggedaboutit and use copious amounts of paint stripper. And be cautious media blasting aluminium. I think most brands tell you it'll void your warrenty but after chemical stripping, scraping, and soft wire brushing I would lightly media blast the frame to blow out any crud or specks that would show up under a coat of paint. Of course I could sand out the primer coat if needed but time money yada yada.....
