JSM Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Lacquer thinner. Very ligthly and very quickly. If the old paint underneath is solid you should be okay. Then a nice buff and wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravRMK Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If it is flaking, you can get alot of it off with a good pressure washer, and the stubborn parts try the laquer thinner on a rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Charlie Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I dont know that its flaking enough for a pressure washer but I was looking for some kind of paint thinner stuff to use like what JSM said, but I can try both. Who ever had it just threw it on it looks like, but yea where its flaking it looks good underneath, I only paid 300 bucks for a 5spd ae86 that runs so its all cool. here are some pictures, im not sure why the primered it, maybe that jdm look I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
