My First Pony!

2007 Mustang V6 Manual Transmission and 1400 miles on it!!!
It was a theft recovery where the crooks painted a red Mustang black with spray paint. As you can see they also added a pretty little stripe. A Green Stripe! What were they smoking?

So here's my question.
Anyone know if I can remove the spray paint and keep the original paint job?
Or what is the best way to remove all the paint for repainting?(I'd be doing it myself)
If I repaint it, I'm really thinking of painting it Grabber Orange with Silver Stripes.

i know its a honda site but the guy actually knows what he's talkin bout and its a hell of alot cheaper than getting it done at a paint shop

oh shit this is what i was looking for. has anyone tried this method?

chrish91286 · July 26th, 2007, 12:28 AM

not anybody here at MM i don't think

WLJohnson05 · July 26th, 2007, 12:28 AM

a pro paint job would be a good investment for that. its gonna be more of a headache to sand and prime and paint, unless u already have everything needed and do this regularly. just dish out some cash and get it done right

Buddydank · July 26th, 2007, 12:31 AM

My dad has a righteous set of tools!
No i can hadle the painting. I"m mainly interested if anyone know a way to remove the spray paint I guess?

BWAL · July 26th, 2007, 12:34 AM

atleast its not like painting a car for a restoration, you probably dont have any body work to do

WLJohnson05 · July 26th, 2007, 12:36 AM

sand it off, either way i doubt ur gonna get paint off of paint

Buddydank · July 26th, 2007, 12:38 AM

Are chemical paint removers out of the question? I don't know much about it.

itschristorres8 · July 26th, 2007, 12:39 AM

theres no way to restore your old paint

howmuch did you pay for that car?

Buddydank · July 26th, 2007, 12:41 AM

Not much. Rather not say.

itschristorres8 · July 26th, 2007, 12:43 AM

i hope it wasnt over $7-8k

the car is brand new but damm, looks like the windows are f-ed up too

Buddydank · July 26th, 2007, 12:44 AM

Less

itschristorres8 · July 26th, 2007, 12:44 AM

Buddydank · July 26th, 2007, 12:46 AM

It's in transit to me right now. I will have it tomorrow night. A family member flew out and is driving it back. He says it handles like a dream.

Onemanzu · July 26th, 2007, 02:37 AM

yea get some sand paper and have at it....

what your going to want to do is get it sanded down and then primmed and ready to got... if you are careful and take your time you wont need to do any rebuilding of the metal... just give it a lot of time and then spray it with primer ... a good coat ... sand again prime sand prime... then take it to a community college and have them spray the actual colour on

then get new windows all around and start loving your car

nba1341 · July 26th, 2007, 03:22 AM

if your got it so cheap then pay for a good paint job

you should have the money

or go get a piece of shit maico paint job

Youngin · July 26th, 2007, 04:45 AM

wow less than 7k ... lucky lucky man

006leenstang00 · July 26th, 2007, 06:36 AM

crashnebula · July 26th, 2007, 08:25 AM

dont forget to tape the windows and tires. (if your doing the paint job yourself)

and even though this should be a given...i have seen it done before, my poor firebird...i kicked the shit out of that guy when i found the windshield covered in primer.
