Sanding The Old B!tch

707Stang · October 1st, 2007, 03:57 PM

So do you guys have any little tricks or tips maybe secrets to sanding through three layers of paint?

I worked on that this weekend and after four hours only able to get half done with the two front fenders.

It takes a LONG time, and the more patience you have the better it will look.

outside home depot duh. where you been?

Dont wire brush it it will eat away at the metal to much. If you have the means you need to soda blast it wich is sandblasting with baking soda will strip the paint in no time without maring the metal

Soda blasting can be dusty, it does a good job and the dust will wash away.

But its the best way fastest way and least harm of the metal way to strip the paint am I right

i have some chemicals from work used to take aircraft paint off. it melts the paint off within an hour. its awesome. never used it on a car tho

65 B/FX · October 2nd, 2007, 01:29 AM

Use Aircraft Paint remover. Spray it on, wait about 30 minutes, scrape off with a bondo spreader. Repeat about 3 times. It works great, but a little messy. Wear gloves by the way.

460brevill · October 2nd, 2007, 06:56 AM

you can buy paint remover in the 5 gallon cans at paint stores,put it on wait till it bubbles up and it will scrape off easyly.been there,dun that.

460brevill · October 2nd, 2007, 07:50 AM

some paint removers will turn the chrome black.use only automotive paint remover.

707Stang · October 2nd, 2007, 10:43 AM

cool beans thanks guys! i will have to give those ideas minus the soda blasting a try this weekend, i'm gonna do the primer and the body work once and do it right. do any of you guys know what to use on the black trim around the back window? like to get it black again?
