Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project



Need I say more??

I have loads of little jobs to get to while I am off work for a few days, as long as the weather allows me.

Tonight on the way home I stopped and got some,paint stripper........ not a recommended product in my world.



They recommend applying, waiting 30 minutes and applying a second coat of the stuff inneeded.

Nope, not even maybe.



Including scraping, scratching and trying to move some of the military cameo paint from the badges, which took me 3 hours, RHD results were absolutely disappointing.

After three hours



Product absolutely NOT Recommended




After scraping with a sharp knife and trying to clean up what the chemicals could not do, I have realised that the only way to use these badges, will be to paint them all one colour and then to roller the high surfaces in a different colour to contrast.



So my quick first holiday job took a lot longer than planned.

More fun tomorrow as I have garage time coming.
