You are right CTE.....painting is a pr*ck of a game.

Leadie.. I'm a panel beater by trade, and I CAN paint....i prefer mi****ting with a hammer and mashing my fingers than the mental frustration of paintwork gone wrong.


Baron, I wouldn't mind some more info on Peroxide/Alcahol paint strippers. They are not something that has found their way into the auto industry as yet. From the limited info I have found, they seem to be more effective on 2K paints than acrylic/jam (enamel). Looking at the video presented, i like the surface finish.


A question on media blasting. Sand (garnet) is never going to work on an airframe (not rocket science). However, what about Plastic bead, Soda or even walnut shell ??
