nitromoors is a right pain in the arse, trust me, if they have lots of layers you will be left with a gooey mess and only half the paint removed, then you spend ages trying to sand all the different levels out

Get them blasted if they are painted or stripped with acid if it's powder coat. Nitromors'ing them seems like a good idea until you actually try to do it and realise it's a very labour intensive job to get them in good enough nick for paint.

Could use acid on paint too, but blasting powder coat off usually means you need to use pretty harsh media. Probs depends on the guy doing it too
