Tue, 12 October 2004 01:06 the safest way is paint stripper... but dont just put int on, that is completely WRONG... what you need to do is get a screw driver for example and scratch the whole area as deepas possible without damaging panel, then apply paint stripper... leave for bout 10-15min (on very hot days keep checking it cause you dont want the stripper to dry) this way the stripper works from underneath and not just on the surface... paint will come off in seconds once it sinks in... the other option is to get a circular sander (grinder), like the buffing machine but you put sand paper on it... the paper is grade 10... this works quicker than pant stripper but is alot messier as you got dust flying everywhere... also be careful not to get deep scratches in the metal... if that happens then you gotta go over it with 36 grade paper and then over that with a grade of paper in the low hundreds... after either one you need to etch primer straight away!!! they say 1ltr will do the whole car cause all you need is one coat but i used the 1ltr on the doors, onnet and boot cause i layed it on thick as my car is in a car port and diretly prone to weather problems (i wish i had it in the garage but no room as all car parts and other stuff in there but ultimately the best is sandblasting... but you are after home remedies... also the wire bruch mentioned above is also AWSOME but it heats up HAAAAAAAAARD so be very very careful with it as it WILL warp metal and then your gonna have to start shrinking the affected areas if it warps hope this helps cheers [Report message to a moderator]
