What tools do you need to strip paint?

Wirewheels
Paint stripper
sand paper (what grades?)
primer

What else?


Also Trying to figure out how much of this junk I am going to need.

How long will a wire wheel last on a little car like a mini? How manys to buy?

How much Paint Stripper will i need? How many of the litrezz

How much sand papers to get

How much longer will i procrastinate for?

And how many more sentences will i write that the end will have preposition on?

also maybe think about:

Rust converter
Beer
Saftey googles/glasses
Dust mask
Ear muffs
Strip wheel (3M make them, they fit on your drill and chew through rust etc)
Scotch brite pads - the ones the wife uses in the kitchen...
More beer

Are you doing outside & inside or outside only?? I used about 3 wire wheels to do just the outside

+Glad wrap

-dust masks (can't drink in a dust mask)
+extra beer (to wash the dust down)

Get about 4 of those strip wheels (look like a thick black nylon scourer glued to a grinding disc) - will strip paint, bog, rust, etc without removing all Astro's remaining metal

Angle Grinder with a wire wheel. A wire wheel lasts me about 4 hours work.

Sand paper of many grades make sure you get 360 and 1200 grit for finishing work and coarser stuff for cutting through.

Beer. Has that been mentioned

I've heard of stuff called "Naval Jelly" for paint stripping - anyone used it? Apparantly it's lethal if you get it in you, but it gets the paint off like stink!

I have used and it ate all the paint really easily, and all the rubbers and the rubber gloves I was wearing. It was also impossible to clean up. It also dissolves rust but must be etched within 24 hours.

I didnt use it his time becuase it is so difficult to clean off. It combines with the dissolved paint to form a toxic caustic slurry...yuk..but effective

this is looking bad for my liver....



must remember to keep my hootus clean too ..
