Exactly! If the paint was so good in the first place why did it get painted over? I bet some of that gold paint is stuffed so therefore it would be a waste of time and effort to reveal it again. Strip it completely and respray it.. Your car will thank you for it.

Looks like the paint is crazed underneath, plus you'd be scratching it up with the razor.

 

Paint strip it and respray it in the original colour if you like it.

Thinners!

 

Eats pressure paint like nothing else.

 

Used rattle cans to guide coat small parts of the car at points. The 10% thinners in the 2k primer started to eat into the pressure pack paint.

strip it, media blast it, soda blast it, sand it. :blush:

don't sit there and scrape at it with a damn razor blade thats somthing a work experiance kid would do... :hmm:

people and there strange ideas.

if its been painted its been done to hide somthing strip it and start with a bare shell.

Unfortuneatly for me i don't have access to any of those things and i'm poor, that is the reason why i'm doing it with a razor blade!, What i would give to have my car stripped back to bare metal and then painted properly, but it's not gonna happen due simply to lack of funds

It would quicker to get an angle grinder and a wire brush to strip your car. seriously not difficult and cheap as compared to a razor blade.

 

plus a couple of steel scrapers all up might cost 30 bucks to strip the car

But then he can't afford to paint it...

Found out what's stuffed with the gold paint yet??

There's nothin wrong with the gold paint trav was just an idiot to paint over it, some people like it some hate it

i really don't see why everyone is having a go at him for what he is doing with the items he has at home

just be polite and think about it what would you do in his situation and i mean excatly his situation when he is trying to get the car BACK ON THE ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE FUNDS AT ALL .

 

its not a prefect respay job at all but hey there shouldnt be a problem with the simple methods he has used

 

so it everyone having a go at him going say they have the cash and are perfect when it comes to there body work and when respraying a car

 

seriously TRAV the orignial person that had the car before justin painted over the gold colour not to hide anything but just to change the colour and cause he was cheap he decided to not even sand the car back at all just straight over the clear coat

A Harsh compound cut and polish should get it off. (providing paint is not layered on)

 

Also if you're low on funds try petrol as a thinner, just make sure you only rub back small area's at once, and wash off thoroughly as it will give the paint beneath the dull look.

 

As far as I'm concerned your not wasting your time. You're "learning through your actions"

 

keep it up.

lol i done this to a pannel once the paint had gone all hard and was coming off as dust spent afew hours on ti was easy as got sore fingers but

No, seriously, no i couldn't do it.

I'm a patient man.

I might wind up grabbing the razor and starting but then i'd start thinking of paint the car red

 

 

 

A beautiful blood red tone with drip marks and all

Haha thats awsome i like that
