Rob 5000 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Well we have just had the engine rebuilt for the 2nd time and now its going like it should. Time now for respray. Been a bitch trying to get the glue from the signs and protector strips off. Anyway aiming to have the prep done this week and paint on next weekend. Quote
azza91 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 just a freshen up in the red, or going for a change of colour? Quote
parrot Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I'm also having a hell of a time getting the glue from the protector strips of my AE86, despite heat gun, acetone etc. Am I missing something here? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Eucalyptus oil or gun cleaner (havent used it but been told many a time) Quote
parrot Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Just looked up a gun wash. Dichloromethane Methanol Aromatic hydrocarbons Ketones Surfactants Ammonia Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed Harmful Possible risks of irreversible effects Excellent! Should do the job. 1 Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Should be OK as long as you don't Charlie Sheen it. :D Eucalyptus oil works ok still gotta use a bit of elbow grease though and its tedious. And some googling says WD40 will work too. That could be a winner Edited April 29, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB 1 Quote
Rob 5000 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Going with same colour with new sticker scheme. Got the glue off finally with heat gun on real high setting then it pretty much wiped off. I forgot to add the before shot. Will post again when its all redone Edited April 29, 2012 by Rob 5000 Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I can vouch WD40 its worked for me many a time. Quote
Subaru_kid Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Car will look great once its done Rob! :) Ps. you going Winton on Queens Bday? Quote
Rob 5000 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks we still deciding on final layout, my mate wants to put a bit of white on it in places...so we'll see Quote
parrot Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 Gun wash and a plastic scraper did the job. But make sure you have a respirator or you will die. Quote
