Stripping seats.

(1/1)

Scott:
I have seats out of an 80 in my vette.  Someone has painted the shells white.  The paint is thick and cracked.  I want to remove the paint before I re-install the seats.  The shells are some sort of injected fibreglass I believe.  What paint stripper should I be using to get the paint off? I'll go chat to the paint supplies guy if I can, but they are normally closed on weekends. Bunnings will be useless, so I'm not bothering with them.

Cheers
Scott

got a place that uses baking soda?  Apparently that stuff is pretty gentle.

sirfixalot:
I got a large dish & filled with  general purpose thinners put each piece in and use a paint brush to coat each piece will take all the paint off back to the bare shell repaint to colour you want.

nifty:
ive heard of media blasting with walnut shells is also pretty good for delicate parts.... make a few calls to blasting places, ive heard they can cover the material ( if still on) and just blast the back so no damage at the front... dont quote me, its just what ive heard.
