Dunefreak Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Whoever painted the plasics on my banshee did a shitty job. Paint is cracking about every where and I don't want to have to dump my fenders. Is there easy way to strip the old paint off so I can have the fenders repainted?

SNTBANSHEE Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Use oven cleaner. Spray it on and leave it for 15 to 20 min. then pressure wash it off. Repeat if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlevasseur Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I would get paint stipper and paste it on and let is sit then whipe it off and/or us a pressure washer and repeat as many times as you need. If you are planning on repainting them I would strip them all the way down to the bare plastic. Never wanna trust some else's prep or primer work, especially with the problems you are having. Then when you get them fully stripped you are gonna want to clean them with laquer thinner or bleach water and then fully scuff them for preperation on the next paint job. JMO.. good luck man!

CruelSoul Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 if you are going to repaint it, just use some lacquer thinner. let it soak, then wipe it off. then sand the rest of the stuck on paint. you are going to have to sand the plastic to paint it good. Unless he uses krylon fusion I did mine and no sanding required just clean them really good dry and spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just had the same issue with a Banshee I just bought a couple weeks ago. Walmart paint stripper and a little powerwashing worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
