[QUOTE="mike.s, post: 592211, member: 13548"] Hi, Has anyone any tips on removing nasty paint jobs applied over OG pain, but preserving the orginal paint? My van has had a nasty paint job on it at some point. From what i can see, it has been sprayed with a grey primer first, then brush painted thickly with white, black and a lovely purpley colour! There a quite a few thread s on the the samba, but these are centred around products made in the US. Any recommendations with UK products? I find with mine, a razor blade tends to nick the og paint (and also is very very time consuming!), wet sanding with 600 grit seems the best at the mo, but is very slow progress aswell . Also tried grafitti remover, but didn`t even touch it and also nitromors, which all also had no affect! Incidentally, i did spray the graffiti remover on some engine tinware and it started peeling the old black paint off pretty quick. I thin the old brush stuff on the van is pretty hardy! Here some of my paint - [img]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b17/cen7mjs/68%20lotus%20bay/IMG_20170502_170053.jpg[/img] [img]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b17/cen7mjs/68%20lotus%20bay/IMG_20170502_195328.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
