Did you ever...
Did you ever hear someone say "you don't know JackDidleyChit" ?? Well, now you do. Spankyellow is now JackDidley.
Going out now to wear out some sandpaper on my 87. Got about 100 layers of paint on it.
Anybody know any shortcuts for paint stripping ?? I think I'll start with 100 grit.

what prompted that??????
There was a thread going in OT about changing user names and it got me thinking it was time for a change. Anyway a girl always telling me that I dont know JackDidleyChit sort of put it in my head. Done deal now.
As for the 100 grit, I am going to try it in an area that has a lot of paint and see what happens. Knock off a layer or two and go to 180 or something. then 220 and then 320.

Yes, I will stop way before I see glass. Ther are just a couple areas that have a lot of paint. The B pillar and the front bumper are the main areas. I am dreading even going near the bumpers. I wish I new of a place thet would soda blast them.

You may be able to google media blasters in IN or check with a local body shop and they may have one or know someone who does. I'd think that the higher end body shops would use media blasting versus sand blasting.

and even tho it feels like it works better when you use the edge try to keep it as flat as possible or your work will end up wavy

Thanks guys. Good advice from both, I have 6" round pad DA but I don't like it cause its too aggressive and hard to control. I have 2 jitterbug sanders that are slower but better. I also have a compressor that will keep up.
Confession time. I didn't touch the car with sandpaper yesterday. I went out to the garage and decided to hang a walk in door instead. Since I've lived here there was only an alluminum storm door in place. So much cold coming in it was like an open window. I had saved an old door from the house and decided it was time to hang it. Not pretty but it stops the air.
