Yesterday I hit the car wash on my way back from Denver. The Stroppe'd needed a quick bath and traffic was pissing me off, so it made for a good break.
Anyhow, on certain parts of the truck I took off as much paint as I did dirt. In light of this, is light to begin the paint removal and priming of my body before I begin the actual restomod later this year.
I've used flap discs on on 4 1/2" grinders to remove paint from hoods and rust from frames. They seem a bit aggressive for the body panels I'll be tackling during this and I haven't seen less aggressive grits available where I shop. So before I keep shopping for what might be the wrong product, I'd like to know what you guys use.
Are you using traditional angle grinders? Die grinders on air? Stripping by hand with blocks?
I know I have two layers of paint, one shot in 71 the other in 78. There may be a third layer from a PO parking lot
, and possibly some putty in there. Goal is bare metal, or as close to it as possible, to assess for rust currently not visible, as well as prep for repainting.
