grungehead Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 i have stripped all the paint off of my ibanez rg and now i have this thick layer of primer i want to do away with. i tried soaking it in BIX paint stripper but it only dissolved small spots... ive also tried going neanderthal on it and chipping it off with a flathead screwdriver and a block of metal. ive made some good dents in the wood this way.... any suggestions?

suicidecustom Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 coarse sandpaper and some elbow grease, best way to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I can't remember which, but I accidently pulled some primer off of a refinish when wiping it down with acetone or naptha. I was trying to wipe down a poor finish coat of paint before it dried and I accidently pulled out a really small spot of primer with it.

weaponepsilon Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I tried this aerosol Car-Paint-Stripper-in-a-can called "peeler" its in walmart auto motive. Works in under five minutes. Peels the paint and primer off like gum. (get a thin metal scraper to help you out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungehead Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 palm sander haha i bought one from harbour freight and im still using my neanderthal method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponepsilon Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I forgot to mention that the "peeler" will eat inlay dots. That stuff is amazing. I once stripped a body in a month with the neanderthal method. Seriously, this peeler stuff came off with less than an hour of work. I used a scothbrite pad and a thin scraper and it peeled off like runny gum. Seriously, give this a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkil Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 use a hand planner blade at a 45 deree angle and drag it over the body backwards. this will peel the primer right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
