Thanks for the suggestions everybody. Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Stripping Bumpers, RS ![]() ![]() |
Because there are multiple layers of paint on these bumpers (looks like a few coats of non-flexible primer and quite a few non-flexible top coats), a combination of the approaches may be in order: getting most of it off chemically and following it up with poop deck pappy's approach to clean up the surface.
On the daily driver, I've sort of run out of fresh-looking bumpers from the p-n-p (sounds like a transistor). I'll clean these up with the random orbital and give 'em a coat or two of SEM. Same with the aero panels, which are getting a little fuzzy on the top.
In my garage, I recently found one of the bumper extensions from my SPG that had been totaled in '99. It's amazing how perfect it is (especially compared to the ratty-looking panels on my daily driver). It'll be a good go-by for what the finish should look like.
It's great to be inspired by all y'all to get on this project.
