paint?

[starsailor]

Hi there!

Another novice question, my 71 has been painted a horrible burgundy colour, the inside is still original and I'd like to take it back. Is there a way to remove the top coat and grey primer but leave original paint? The current top coat is very poor quality, some flaked off removing a sticker. I'm a couple of years away from being able to afford a good respray, do I just live with it or is there an alternative?

Cheers Chris

Another early bayer has just done a similar thing. Here is the thread, it think he used a polishing machine with a buffing pad and paint thinners.

By the looks of things the original paint has come up quite well. Looks like a big job though

Just go at it with a orbital or hand sand and see what you find if it thick, or you may be able to mop it off with T-cut?

I think it will be a risky business without damaging the original paint, anythings possible however. And if you really dont like it how it is then youve got nothing to lose 8)
