Your right that can happen, I used Holts Dupli Color rattle can with Acrylic .

I've now done the ash tray and had already tackled the door panels at the same time as the glove box but wasn't going to post em as i'm not to happy with the end result....they had rusted and were damaged on the outer edges and corners, even with a massive amount of grinding and sanding the pitting was too deep.

Anyway here they are for what they're worth.

Love it! Can you post what you're using to remove the paint? Is it something you're putting on an angle grinder?

My lid is chrome, but it's horribly scratched...do you think the disk will remove it? I'm going to the yard tomorrow, so if not, I'll just pick up another one while I'm there.

I wouldn't bother with the chrome one tubbed, you would need a metal grinding disc and then you would be taking pieces outta the lid as well, the beauty of the stripping disc's are that you loose nothing off the body just paint, they're primarily for the car resto trade, so pick up an old lid if you can.
Here's a link, it's a U.K site you can see what they're like....but they are available in the states.

Thanks eight!...I have to find one for my angle grinder...I've used one on my cordless drill, but the batter doesn't last long enough. I just wanted to make sure it was the same thing. I can't wait now!
