Remove Top Layer of Paint & Save Patina

We got a hood that was the right colour originally BUT had been repainted, can we remove THAT paint and reclaim the original?
We can and we did, come along and I’ll show you what I did

You're nuts man, no gloves with oven cleaner..... its so caustic lol. It works like a hot damn, nice work man!

[@shortcutgarage]

My whole life is caustic lol 😂

[@BareKnuckleBinder]

That looks great! I really appreciate that you set a timer to figure out a good soak time, I’ve got just the project in mind for this.

[@shortcutgarage]

Look awesome. Does the oven cleaner not eat the paint down to the metal?

[@shortcutgarage]

Sure didn’t. Didn’t hurt the factory paint

[@mirshaakbar3689]

What spray do you use? Can remove putty to? Thanks. I need to find my original vespa paint. That have 3 layer repainted

[@shortcutgarage]

Just cheap Oven cleaner. Definitely will soften the putty if left on too long

[@user-kd2nr5gg2k]

The oven can wait. I wanna try this

[@napgonz]

Nice! I will try this on my 64 vw bug. It has primer paint on top of the original paint. Thanks for sharing!

[@shortcutgarage]
