deja Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I am getting ready to paint my hood. Since it has been previously painted I am stripping it to cut dome on paint thickness. I would also like to strip the stock 280Z hood vents. This would be next to impossible to sand, so what paint striper would be safe to use on these plastic parts?

GOTHALOSISM Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Since they are plastic I would just use some steel wool and a scotch bright pad. Some "goo gone" might help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodoldjam Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Get some bumper stripper, I would think that would be safe for Plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Using a scotch pad would be tough because of the louvers, I don't want to break one of those. Maybe I can take it apart. Soda blasting would probably work if I knew someone that had one. Bumper stripper? A Google search came up with SEM 77713. I'll see if I can find some.

Not sure what kind of media he has, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Harbor frieght sells a cheapish soda blaster doodad. I am thinking of going that route for small parts or even my hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 The problem with home blasting is you need a big ass compressor to keep up with the blaster. I have a pretty good size one, 3.5 HP and a 60 gallon tank, but wonder if it would work. Harbor frieght sells a cheapish soda blaster doodad.

deja Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't know Ernie well enough to ask him that. I have contacted Mike about powder coating some things, wonder if he could strip these with his setup. Ernie has a blast cabinet. Not sure what kind of media he has, though.
