Help needed!
Hi all,
Looking at doing an underneath resto on my escort, what is the best way of removing all old paint/underseal? Is it a wire wheel on an angle grinder or something? Been looking at the resto section an everyone's doin it but not explaining how! Also, when it's stripped to metal, which order do I put the paint on! Primer then underseal then top colour? Or underseal first then primer as I've read a few people doin it different ways! This is my first ever resto an wanna do it right! Cheers!

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Hot air gun and scrapper is how I did it mate, hard craft and then a wire wheel on an angle grinder or drill to get the last bit and then give it a clean with a rag and some thinners or petrol.
apply the primer, then stone chip if that what your using, then the paint
hope this helps
and good luck!

Gonna be doin it on axle stands in my not so big garage? Can you still use a small sandblasted like this? I will be on my back underneath the car? Sounds easier to get it off! Cheers
