280z Hood vents stripping

Featured Replies

Any idea what the best way to strip these to prep for paint? The previous owner put on paint that is chipping and flaming away and I want to get it down to have a reliable base for primer.

I used the spray can paint stripper and it worked well, the plastic is easy to nick so use a light touch.

When you use paint stripper, don't scrape - use a brush with firm plastic bristles. Yup, it's messy.

I used old toothbrushes and Kleen-Strip for plastic from Lowes. Took 2 go rounds and some light sanding to get back to original. Emory files worked for the sanding in the vents.

Just thought of soda blasting with an air gun. Google "diy soda blasting". $.50 a pound at the dollar stores and works good.
