Re: Best way to remove old paint
I removed the paint from my old G1. A palm-sander with 60 grit worked good to remove most of it. Then 150 grit to really clean it up. Just don't get carried away with the 60 grit. Took about 4 hours total.

Re: Best way to remove old paint
best way to take old paint off is to use 180 grit on a DA sander and then come back over that with 320 grit and then clean it up really good and u can primer it the block sand the primer then blow off the dust and paint it . and if that is too much u can always bring me the body and I pimp it out for u . check my photo out

Re: Best way to remove old paint
Be sure to use a good wax & grease remover prior to priming and painting!
And when final-sanding your primer use a can of black spray paint to dust over the primer as a guide-coat. It will show all low spots and sand scratches that may need filled. |
