Hi all, I am looking for guidance as to how to remove as much paint as possible from my csl.
I had intended to take it to a bodyshop garage for them to take off all the trim, then get it picked up by a 'dipping comany' here in the uk called surface process.
however, I have just come back from the birmingham classic car show and I spoke to 4 or 5 restorers who have advised against chemical dipping on the grounds of potential future 'seepage' from joints
as a result I am now reconsidering.
I used a drill sander to strip my e28 and made a complete pigs ear of it by distorting the metal as it got to hot so I do not want to make that mistake again.
I am now considering using a combination of dry scraping using a razor scraper, together with paint stripper (any reason why normal nitromors / b&q / wickes type household stripper cannot be used ?) and sanding using a different sanding tool.
Any comments ?
