as for taking paint off, its not the nicest of jobs, takes ages, you found any multicoloured panels underneath, ie a green door or red bonnet ha

i bet somethin like a 500 grit would be perfect to take the white off without going deep into the China lacquer?
#64: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG4 latest update** Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 1:57 pm ---- Well all I'm doing ATM the min is lay a cloth on car and pour thinner on cloth (holds it self to side of car etc)
Leave it 5mins, take off cloth and it's all bubbled up.
Then just remove it with credit card type card.
So very easy ATM requires no effort the tough bits I will sand.
+ this methord there is not White dust flying everwere all over next doors car lol
