I've searched and can only find 'Media Blasting Vs. Acid Dip' threads, so I'm hoping to get some feedback on 'Garage Stripping' methods. For those of us taking the car down to bare metal, and re-painting it in the garage/driveway/basement (long story) is there a 'best way' to get it all off before filler/primer?
I used one of those spongy wheel things attached to a drill last night on the pass-front fender and it took about an hour. I CAN'T think of doing the entire car like that. I'm not looking to punk-out on the time thing, but It'd take me a few weeks of evenings to do it with the wheel thingy. Should I go get a bunch of 60-Grit sand disks and go at it on the grinder at a low speed? That seemed awefull abrasive. Is chemical stripping better? I tried some Jasco that I had left over from another job and it curtled the re-spray off pretty quick, but didn't seem to phase the second coat. For the trunks, I'm just going to rough it up and prime/paint. But the rest of the body needs to come down to the shiney stuff. Ideas/Suggestions/Stories of Peril and Dispair? |

Hey Gint, did you hook those 3m pads on a grinder or drill? I have not found an arbor for an angle grinder. Drill sucks, works good with the tiny rol-lock pads in tight spaces.
