Removing old paint

[jacks906]

Hi all
Could anyone recommend a good way to get back to my OG paint.
Currently using thinners and sanding but don't want to knacker the paint underneath.
The green comes off with the thinners but it wont touch the white and grey primer underneath
Cheers
Dave

Well, you've started something there, haven't you.

So what was the original colour?

You're going to want as good a finish as possible, I'd get a polishing machine (£50-ish new) with a big fluffy bonnet, and first off use your thinners on that to get the green off. You've got a lot of area to cover, hence the machine. You'll possibly want gloves with an area that big, or your arms will go numb pretty quickly!

Then I guess- and it'll take a while! replace the polishing bonnet and use cutting compound, T-cut style stuff. There's undoubtedly more aggressive stuff out there that might well be worth looking into.
