Old Timer Tim Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just got a used Squier P Affinity & the body needs new paint. Can anybody tell me what the original finish is? Paint? Lacquer? Kryptonite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Most likely polyester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Should be polyester, but with the abuse it takes, it could be depleted uranium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Timer Tim Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Most likely polyester Thanks Quarter & ihocky2. Polyester? I might be outa my league here. Will this be like repainting a Corvette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 No, just a hard to strip finish. The heatgun is the only option I've ever found for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have a good heatgun; use it mostly shaping ABS. So heat up the polyester & scrape it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
