mercuryguuy Journeyman Posts: 4 From: Cross Creek, NC Registered: Jul 2001	posted 07-27-2001 04:06 PM I am stripping my paint on my car right now and was wondering the best way to remove the older "MAACO" repaint. I was planning on trying to use some lacker thinner to see if that may work. IP: Logged

Either buy paint stripper or sand it off. When I did mine I used 180 grit paper gently to get thye biggest part of it off, then followed by 320. You just have to be careful or there will be scratches everywhere. Good Luck ------------------ Thanks John (wvcat) http://www.geocities.com/wvxr7cougar/wvcat_01.html?989286238390 IP: Logged

I was hoping there was a good chemical way to remove the paint. There seems to be only two layers of paint on the thing though so it shouldn't be that bad. The top layer will come off pretty easy but it is the original factory paint that looks like it is going to be a pain to get off. I will keep you guys updated. IP: Logged
