Did you completely strip it before rattle can-ing it? If so, how? I am looking to do my old Jamis Dragon with a can...

yes, I used industrial aircraft stripper that I purchased at advanced auto. I've done a couple other frames this way and it's time consuming, but works out pretty good.

it's awesome. For what it is, it rides excellent, esp with the rigid fork...planning on getting in some more miles on it this week.
