Was wondering what grit of sandpaper did you use before applying the paint stripper? Also where did you buy the paint stripper from?? Cheers.

Hi so I used 80 grit on the roof I try not to go to heavy of a grit straight up usually for me ends up causing me more work but being what has been done to this car I've had to step up to 40 grit to cut through the layers enough ti let the paint stripper attack right down into the lower layers. But its very much a case by case thing every car is different :) as for where I buy it I got this through inspirations paint just a local shop to me in Capalaba Qld but quick google search of the product should lead you to a local stockist 😎🤘

Is it your first resto

[@dksgarage189]

This isn't my first rodeo no

Why not just use brake fluid?

[@dksgarage189]

@crabjoe current way things are brakefluid is more expensive that paint stripper just went with the cheapest option I could

If you work as much as you talk you would get a lot done.
