Ok, I decided to strip all the undercoating off from the areas I want to weld in the stiffening kits. I thought it was just some thick black paint but it is in fact undercoating. I got a chemical stripper and it says it will remove all coatings in one shot. I have applied the first coat and then scraped it but it seems a bit tougher than I thought. Any other suggestions on what I can use to remove all this stuff?

Angle grinder with a wire/cable cup wheel. Goes thru undercoating like butter. You MUST wear some big heavy gloves with this thing - if it gets loose you will bleed. A lot. Then a quick wipe with some laquer thinner and it's clean bare metal.

It also spits little pieces of black caca all over everything & everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I forgot about the laquer thinner... it will wipe it right off afterwards on smooth, un-rusted metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |
