I have an original 914/6 that is undercoated with some type of asphalt based product over the factory painted undercoat.
Does any one have a good idea for removing this asphalt product? I am scraping it off with difficulty as the original paint also gets damaged. I have also tried brake clean and wd40 but they also damage the paint as it doesn't seem like there is much thickness to the paint. I would like to keep the factory paint intact if I can. Any ideas? Thanks |

I have had pretty good luck using a heat lamp with a 200w bulb. Depending on how long you heat the area will determin how soft the undercaot will get. Some times it just takes a souple of seconds and you can follow the light with a paint scraper and it just comes right off. This method helps, however it is a pain in the butt none the less. Just takes time and patience.
Good luck, BJ P.S. The heat lamp will not radiate enough heat to warp body pannels unless you leave it in one spot for a long time, over ten minutes, which is way more time than you will need to soften the material. |
