paint off of urethane air dam

[Art@NissanSport]

quick question. What's the best stuff to take paint off of a air dam without hurting the air dam itself? Thanks

Very carefull use of a heat gun is quite effective and less messy than other methods, not to mention cheaper.

Air Pressure-once you get under it, the paint will lift right off in sheets-at least old paint will. If the paint is a urethane itself (two parts or otherwise) it should stick so well you should prime, fill and paint right over it.

I would try flexing the part to see if you can break adhesion. if so, air pressure-and a little more flexing, if not clean it, scuff it, spray on some high build 2k (urethane) primer, correct any issues, and top coat!

Some of it peels off, but most is on pretty good. I was hoping there was a spray on and wash off way of doing this but i guess I'll have to start sanding. Yuck!

Check with your paint store, and ask them for Fiberglass Paint Stripper.

My Xenon Urethane front air dam was Corvetter Yellow when I got it. I got lucky cause they forgot to add a "Flex agent" and most of it was easily removed by "Flexing" the urethane to break the paint free. I then used a thin putty knife under the lifted paint. Almost all of came off except for a few tight areas.

I used a paint remover on those small spots and got the rest off. BUT BE CAREFUL. Paint stripper WILL melt Urethane if you're not careful. I used the kind that dilutes with water for a safer approach.

Good luck,

Dave.
