Removing some surface coats of paint

(1/4) > >>

othomas2:
I have a frame here which seems to have the original paintwork underneath. So my plan is to remove the hand sprayed(no lacquer) coats of paint causing as little damage to the original finish as possible.

Anyone have a bright ideas of a quickish way of doing this ?

my finger nail is succeeding but don't wanna keep using it for obvious reasons... and a stanley knife blade is causing to much damage.... so ???

What do you reckon to some white spirit to soften if up a little ? and a plastic scraper of some sorts ??

Help needed please ?

cheers
Owen

i did it with nail varnish rmover. took a while tho.

Preston Pirate:
I'd say some kind of thinners or solvent to gently remove the top layer of paint. Then T-cut any little bits that are left back to the original paint

theRuler:
it will be a war of atrition though

is the original paint that valuable?

othomas2:
I wont say what frame it's on...  :2funny:



Just nice to keep the original if possible...
