I could have it bead blasted with a combination of glass and wallnut shells which would take the paint off but not the fibreglass. Though that would cost a lot. I just want it to look slightly tidy, not as tidy as that Corsa above. I don't think I could afford to get the car to that level. I think Jr clean will suffice. | |

I want the arches like that red Corsa with the tanned Carisma interior. It's all lovely, smooth and painted in the arches... | |

Freeze it with a fire extinguisher and then whack the panel from behind with a leather mallet. The worst of it should crack and chip and fall off. | |

Na, I want to paint on some Hammerite Stone chip on which is smooth so I can wax inside the arches. For some reason :o Meh, it's gonna be a trailer queen so why not :lol: | |

I think white spirit will slowly dissolve it but its very labour intensive. | |

Right, the plan for my car is to not only remove all the paint for a bare metal special but also remove the underseal in the rear arches too. This is so the arches can be painted up the same colour as the body. The fronts aren't a problem as they don't have any underseal in them... |
