Rear Bumper paint removal.

[Dann Tellez]

I bought this rear bumper yesterday and I noticed it has different layers of paint on it.

As you can see the original paint is there, however, it and I tried to remove the paint using easy off in spray as I did with my bus. However, the layer of paint is thicker than I tought and is almost impossible to get rid of it. I’m afraid of use paint remover and screw up the original paint.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Citrus Strip and plastic razor blades is worth a try. I did a whole car with these.

You might use a coarse sander and scuff the gloss of the green-looking enamel that was applied by brush. The idea is to give the chemical stripper a little extra "bite."

I recently did this to both my front and rear bumpers. I used Oven Cleaner from the 99cent store and 0000 steel wool.

I'ts a slow and painful process. I probably spent 10 hours over 4 days scrapping. I will say it is worth the effort.
