RE: [T3] Paint Removal



Yeah, HotVWs dipped a Fasty a few years ago too.  I have the article around
here some place if anyone would like a scan, let me know (at my home address
please: jaransonT3@aol.com ).

Check out Eastwood Co. website, http:/www.eastwoodcompany.com .  They sell a
wide range of products for automotive restoration.  "Environmentally
conscious" paint removers, sandblasters and different types of blasting
media, Corroless rust conversion paint, and air powered sanders and stuff.
They also carry a complete line of spray painting equipment.  Even aerosol
cans of the vinyl dyes that we have been discussing.  Their site is very
informative.  Lots of good tips.

One recommendation I would make is to leave the factor paint in place if is
is in good shape.  Do not strip areas unnecessarily.  The factor paint will
proved a very good base to paint over.  Just be sure to degrease the surface
and rough it up with a ScotchBrite pad before painting.  Also, I have had
very good luck with the so called "Aircraft" paint strippers.  Eastwood
sells this too, but it is not so envirnomentally friendly (can NOT be
shipped outside the USA)
