I have a real nice grill for a 71 but the guy who had it painted it PURPLE!! Whats the best way to get the paint off without hurting the grill?
If u want to repaint the grill. I wud just clean it, go over w\ fine steelwool and repaint it whatever color I desired. I wud hesitate to use any harsh chemicals to strip it. Maybe some of the water based new strippers may not harm it -- but that might be risky IMO. GUD LUCK WITH IT...
Well! I don't know what else to say on that. I guess ur options are limited. You may not have much else of an option but stripper. Maybe some of the folks here can offer some other suggestions.
try talking to the people at an automotive paint supply place. they should know there products and what will work best for you.
I have used original Easy Off Oven cleaner to remove paint on plastics in the past and it worked great. Sprayed it on and left it a while then hosed it off and all the paint just washed off.
Go to an auto paint dealer and get a product like this: Aircraft stripper for plastics - This is what I have used very successfully. SEM also makes a paint remover for plastics but I have not personally tried it. I know we are talking about a grille, but for small parts, soaking in DOT 3 brake fluid overnight works wonders. :Handshake
I've used Easy off on plastic with great results. I was unaware there was an aircraft stripper for plastic. If its half as good as the regular stuff, I'd use that. A bit pricey, but quick.
