Devils hairspray, like it.
Only wish the paint I have to remove was sprayed and not lathered on with a paint brush...6 times.
Lucky boy, keep at it, looks real good.
68BUS 路
Nice and solid mate.
Heard you had some issues with the tow vehicle on the way up though. Should have swapped them and towed with the SC.
68BUS 路
By the way. Is the paint stripping being done by water blaster only or are you using some sort of chemical as well?
I want to do this to mine.
tar76 路
Nice work h man....looks like some fun times ahead

Hey H what's the secret to applying the oven cleaner ? how long do you leave it on ? can u give us a step by step ? just tried it on my gaurds and it looks the goods cheers Terry
68BUS 路
Pauly, you got lucky with the oven cleaner. Mine is now where near as good. Think I will be doing a fair bit of wet dry sanding to get through the etch primer.
BIG WORD OF WARNING!!!!!! To those of you, who like me decide to try the oven cleaner thing, and who like me are pretty lax about working with corrosives, buy some good rubber gloves.
I was three cans into the job and I stoped cause I had to go out (luckily), I went to wash my hands cause I have some weird slimy stuff on my fingers that I assumed was paint residue.
Turns out it have melted my finger nails. They are about half the thickness they used to be and area curling up a little. So hopefully they stay on until I can grow new nail.
If I had kept going it would more than likely be a different story.
