right, i'm doing it the hard way.
first of all i took wet and dry to it. this is gay because it takes ages to get the paint and laquer off. so, i went to auto paint shop and bought some paint stripper. paint just bubbles off and i cleaned it with pressure washer.
but, there is still a lot of sanding involved because the surface isn't smooth, it has orange peel effect.
i'm on the stage of trying to get everything smooth using more wet and dry.
I have a polishing compound, autoglym metal polish, and peek to do the work.
GAY! takes too fucking long
