theshee Posted November 23, 2007 Report Posted November 23, 2007 We are a little backed up with paint projects right now due to the cold weather here, but when we get some projects out of the way we'd be happy to do it for him. When you are ready to get something done PM me or write me on myspace. Quote

kawiking Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Posted December 17, 2007 this is as far as i got !!! 4 cans of air plane stripper and "some sanding".... i think the hoods stock shee plastic... but im thinking the nose is maier.... who else makes fenders that roll downward like these ?? Quote
theshee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 what kind of aircfaft is it you are using? I had some that sucked, it was blue gel like stuff. You need the yellow snot kind, it will take that off very quickly. Quote
kawiking Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Posted December 18, 2007 who ever painted this plastic put some damn paint on !!! it was maroon with flacks in it with white flames on it. it just had alot of stress cracks in it. i thought about trying to sand blast the damn thing !!! Quote

Go to the local autobody paint store and get the aircraft stripper in a can. Spray them down and leave them for 30 min. or so (in the shade). Go back and scrape er down. If it doesnt take it all off, do it again. Quote
NitroTate Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 One of the best working most convenient strippers I've found is the NAKED KIND! LOL just kidding, go to Home Depot in the paint department and get the KleenStrip sprayable liquid. Make sure to use heavy duty gloves and definitely make sure to use it in warm conditions like at least around 70 deg. If you use it in cold conditions it won't do shit and you'll waste it. It is neutralized with water but use warm water and when you rinse it the fumes are pretty harsh too so be careful. Use a scraper or one of those gold or silver pot scrubbers from the grocery store. That should take it off for you real well. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I used this kind of stripper to clean paint/varnish off a China Cabinet... It worked fine, but it pales in comparison to the good aircraft stripper Keil is talking about... That stuff will burn the hairs out of your nose.... That is a LOT of paint on those plastics....sheesh!!! Quote

But yeah you will need to probably hit it a few times no matter what... Quote
