what or how is a good way to get the paint off that was leftover in the engine bay and also around the rear windscreen of the ute?

Also What kind of price would I be looking at to have it professionally prep'd??

Luke reckons $3K - $4K n i tihnk he said that includes painting it n stuff

m getting edgy about the ute and i am just so desperate to drive it lol!!!

evilbetty seems keen on paint strpper, then sand paper - check out his thread a bit maybe a few pages back from where it is up to now.

yeah im using paint stripper then a stripping wheel on the end of my drill to grind the rest off... its is working so much better, i started off with an electric sander until i realised i had at least 10 layers of paint/primer/bog on my car... i feel your pain

but the thing is unlike the parts in the picture..i can't take the engine bay out of the car...hence i am asking how

no but you can take the engine out and then use paint striper. Just remember to lay plastic over the top of the stripper for an hour or so to seal it in have fun mate

nothin wrong with a wire wheel on a lekky drill

paint stripper is your friend mate. use him well. also lay a sheet of plastic under hte car also(just for the mess) then scrap it off with a metal scrapper. does this about 2-3 times then the rest use a wire wheel.

I suppose I should have linked this picture instead.....shows the engine bay.



It's on page 7 of the evilbetty thread
