Re: [DMCForum] Long Time

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The rear panels and doors, I did a panel swap due to known damage. The 
hood is stripped with Airplane Stripper bought at Autozone. Pour it on, 
wait a bit as the paint bubbles (the stuff is quick) and scrape off with 
a plastic scraper (using the type used to spread bondo). Wear gloves 
though. The only catch with painted cars is some have good grain, some 
are damaged to make the paint stick, in my case I had a good idea most 
of the grain was good due to the edges of the paint coming off by itself 
on any bend.
