I don't want to remove the interior or engine but I'll remove everything else like bumper, headlights and that sort of stuff. What are my options? |

Olav,
What's your objective here? Changing the color of a car? Restoring a color change car? Those are probably the only two reasons for removing paint. Otherwise the factory paint, 9 times out of 10, is the best primer for a new paint job. Chemical stripper is fine if you're going down to metal, but not a good choice if you're just freshening up a factory paint job. The better approach is to rough it up with a DA sander and re-shoot it. At least I think that was the best advice 10 years ago when I last got to hang out at a paint shop. I haven't heard anything to contradict it despite all the new paint processes that have been developed since then. Hopefully Rick can chime in here since he's a real expert and I'm just blowing smoke, Jon |
