I'm having to strip my 3dr's front bumper right back (its had many many paint jobs in the past and its now built up so much that its cracking in places, also the second paint job it had looks like its not took properly and has lifted...so bare plastic seems the only answer), I've been working away with W&D 180 for most of the morning and seem to be getting no where at any pace. Is there anything availble that will safely strip off the paint yet not harm the plastic or cause problems when it come's to the repaint?

Cheers,
Stu.

 

Bump because I'm impatiant

 

unfortunatly not, nitromors is the easiest way but can damage plastic. But i wouldnt fuck about with W&D to take it back to plastic, easiest way is with a sander and 80 or 120 to rip as much off as poss then go lighter to when u get near the plastic.

Only other thing that has worked in the past but isnt quick is soaking a rag in thinners and leave it on the paint and the vapour will get the paint to lift off, but can take a while!! Unfortunatly sanders are the quckiest way thou!Ź!

 

Bugger, wasnt the reply I was hoping for tbh

Dont really want to use a DA as it's mainly curves etc

 

Can still use a DA but takes a bit of practice use them on SLR panels at work so

Only other thing i could suggest is 80 or 120grit dry on a block mate!
