AZDatsun Posted March 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2020 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.

grannyknot Posted March 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2020 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen1 Posted March 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 25, 2020 When you use paint stripper, don't scrape - use a brush with firm plastic bristles. Yup, it's messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 25, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 25, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 25, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2020 Just thought of soda blasting with an air gun. Google "diy soda blasting". $.50 a pound at the dollar stores and works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
