Oh-KE Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 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.

Felix Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyke35 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited September 2, 2010 by crispyke35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undertaker_is_the_best Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited September 3, 2010 by Undertaker_is_the_best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillin Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towe001 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
