Posted March 25, 20205 yr comment_595329 Any idea what the best way to strip these to prep for paint? The previous owner put on paint that is chipping and flaming away and I want to get it down to have a reliable base for primer.

March 25, 20205 yr comment_595341 I used the spray can paint stripper and it worked well, the plastic is easy to nick so use a light touch. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63741-280z-hood-vents-stripping/#findComment-595341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 25, 20205 yr comment_595428 When you use paint stripper, don't scrape - use a brush with firm plastic bristles. Yup, it's messy. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63741-280z-hood-vents-stripping/#findComment-595428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 25, 20205 yr comment_595429 I used old toothbrushes and Kleen-Strip for plastic from Lowes. Took 2 go rounds and some light sanding to get back to original. Emory files worked for the sanding in the vents.
