This is from "Team Chevelle" P._. : The interior of my 1967 has been repainted once. Most of the interior plastic pieces were repainted. My primary concern is the console because it has already been repainted once. The grain is not as pronounced as it was originally, and I am concerned that it will be noticeably less so after painting it again. Besides that, I have already run into problems repainting the metal pieces because the repainting was with enamel and not lacquer. I had paint wrinkling problems even after priming over the old finish. I am concerned that I will run into the same problem on the console, so I would like to strip it first if possible.
D._. : Easy Off Oven Cleaner is what a lot of model car guys use, so it should work. You may want to use spray dye instead of paint on the plastic parts. I used dye on my plastic kick panels. The dye soaks in better and makes it look like it was molded in that color and not painted. J.S. : Conventional paint strippers used in auto paint processes will ruin most plastics. There are a few dry strippers on the market that can be used on plastics, but they may also deteriorate the integrity of the plastic. I have used Dow as well as Easy Off oven cleaners to remove paint from plastics. Both products work extremely well. Be sure to wear the latex gloves since these products are tough on the skin. Spray on an ample amount of foam and the paint tends to melt away. Use soapy hot water with a Scotch-Brite pad to get the paint completely out of the grain. Let the console air dry for at least a week and then begin the re-paint process. http://www.chevelles.com/archive/files/ezoff.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
