    paint removal question on zender spoiler.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    so i baught a zender lip spoiler a while back around when old no 7 got his, and they come unpainted. i sanded it down and painted it and all that. problem is i was impatient and didnt take the time to sand down the deeper scratches and i can see them through the paint. whats the easiest/fastest/best way to strip all the paint? sanding it will take forever(3 coats primer, 3 color, 3 clear...9 layers of paint to sand through). could i use something like aircraft stripper without hurting the plastic/polyurathane that the spoilers made out of? im not really sure the best way to go about this. but i know i need to fix it tomorrow. thanks!

    Re: paint removal question on zender spoiler.

    aircraft might fuck up your world...

    i have VERY VERY VERY insensitive skin... like, straight bleach and sanitizer at work (AND the bathroom cleaner.. spirit or something like that) don't bother me..

    but that aircraft remover stuff gives an INSTANT burning sensation if you get it on your skin.. kinda like lots of tattoo needles all over your hands and arms all at once... so i can only imagine what that could do to plastic. (afterall, googone can melt and haze up clear plastics)

    maybe try light coats of aircraft remover to get the clear off, and then acetone after that? idk how acetone affects plastic though, so don't quote me there. i just know that aircraft remover took off EVERYTHING from my fat 5's (i stripped/polished em)
