>>1308962In aluminium a thin outer layer oxidises which forms a barrier that prevents more corrosion while with iron rust can penetrate and literally eat the whole thing. I did use chemical stripper. Lots of that toxic smelly stingy mess.
>>1308985That road bike would be the 6th frame i have stripped and poilshed. The labour involved varies widely. I have had paint just peel off effortlessly like glad wrap on some frames and on the other end multiple layers of hardened primer like on that road bike. I called it quits at the welds even with a dremel wire brush tool. It beat me lads :(
