    Default Removing spray paint from a hood?

    Does anyone know how I can go about doing this without really messing up the original paint under it. The person that owned the car before my brother decided it would be a good idea to spray paint the hood black. Well I bought the car from my brother and couldn't stand it but dealt with it. Now it has started to peel off and you can see the red underneath so I would like to go ahead and get rid of all the spray paint. I was wanting to know what products I could get that would take the spray paint off and not damamge the paint underneath too much. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Sand paper. Then spray primer prep it good and get that shit painted at fucking maaco or something. That's what I would do.

    i dont nkow who/what/where/why/how/nick news w5/when your talking about, but as someone who has personally removed 3 coats of pink spray paint + black racing stripes from a hundred dollar civic i bought as a daily driver with a shit ton of IIRC (been about 2 years) EZ off Oven cleaner and shop towels without harming the factory paint that was underneath and amazingly still in good shape ill continue to do it my way, and tell people to do it my way instead of sanding/buffing/in the long run painting because you sanded off too much clearcoat when in reality you just buff off the spray paint with oven cleaner and somehow it doesnt hurt the clearcoat.

    even though we later jumped/set on fire/pulled the motor out of this car, the paint is still shiny.

    Yeah I am selling it buddy. I am not modding it because I am saving for something else. And dinky system? Okay, shows what you know about car audio. I would list prices but that doesn't really show you anything or really explain MB Quart. It's fucking German audio for my German car? Just because you are not into the euro scene doesn't mean you need be an asshole.

    Mikespeed what kind of car do you drive? I will go buy one immediately since you
    don't approve of my choice. Give me a good list of cars so I can take what YOU like in to account next time I buy a car.

    systems are gay. just because something is expensive doesnt mean its good and vice versa. judging by the fact you actually DID list tint in your mod list im giong to guess you probably dont have anything near the proper enclosure to make use of that big of an amp, but what do i know.

    oh wait i know i dont drive a gay ass gti with bolt ons, and a sound system, wihtout even having a fucking boost controller. you put a fucking ipod adapter in your mod list. faggot.

    fucking moron.

    come back to the tech forum when it doesnt take you 3 different wrenches to figure out what size your oil drain plug is if your even capable of changing your own oil you fucking moron.

    Okay I am waiting on my list of cars.

    If you will notice I said I will not list a price as it is meaningless.

    Also, I have a custom enclosure.

    guess thats why every car that comes with OEM smoked housings has black instead of chrome plastic inside the light assembly. Stupid manufactureres i wish theyd learn how to build cars the fucking right way.

    What makes you a credible source? No one knows what you drive and you have never said anything to give you the least bit of credibility. You probably don't know shit.
