paint removal
Looking to gently get to stock paint off my gtu/indy mirrors to have them painted with a really glossy black whats the best way to have them stripped or blasted to have them to the factory plastic so there is no teal or white?

Aircraft paint stipper FTW!!! Make sure to read the can to see if it can be used on plastic first...

Re: paint removal
Im pretty sure you can. I've stripped fender flares and Saturn body parts with it and had no problems. Just dont hose it on plastic like you would metal. lol.

Re: paint removal

Re: paint removal
Find a place locally, they are all over. Or send them to me. I do soda blasting. It removes all paint. And does not attack the substrate. It's then a virgin material.
