This will be my step by step driveway strip and paint thread. This may not be the way everyone will do it, but this is the way I will do mine. If you like it, you can do it this way also. If not, then you can take it to a body shop and pay $3k to $5k for a paint job. You could also do different variations and run the cost up. I will post what I spend on this entire process. Some have said its like hitting your self in the head with a hammer, ok, this will be my first smack in the head.

This is an awesome thread. I'm starting the stripping process this weekend, so this'll come in REAL handy. Yesterday I almost asked the same question about a 'how-to' thread, but I'm REAL glad you beat me to the punch!
I was going to sand the whole thing down with 80-grit, but this looks a lot 'safer' than that. How long do I need to let the stripper sit on the paint? I was thinking of waking up at like 5:30 to apply the first coat...get a shower and go back to bed for a few hours...then get up and start scraping. I've got 2 coats of paint to get through and I'm SURE a fair bit of filler. Banging out the rear-pass fender is going to be a treat. The f$%king thing shrunk up more than I'd planned when I was re-welding it back into place. |
