I have a 2020 Norco torrent in the purple color. TIG welded steel frame. Liked the color at first, now tastes are changing. Love the frame and geo considering re finishing to a raw color. I have a frame builder near me who should be able to help. Want to go to a raw steel/clearcoat finish.
Just a curiosity, does anyone know if stripping paint off a steel bike (sandblasting or chemically) will preserve the cool heat marks around the welds? Or will stripping and refinishing remove these marks?
