Any Paint Sprayers, Car painters, Coachbuilders?

[MRD 3]

Nothing to do with Hunting what so ever but all of us on here have differant jobs so...

 

I recently bought a Car (BMW 325i Touring E30) that the last owner had for 14 years. After keeping it mint for 13 years he hit a gate post! Then sprayed the o/s rear and door himself!! looked a twxt! I've removed most of the Paint with T-Cut but it's very teedious and slow. He painted the whole door and panel which I can't understand as the original paint underneath is mint.

 

What can I use to get the rest off? as i would like to take it to a local car show in a few weeks but I would like the "shite" paint work removed.

 

Thanks MRD.

Bit off the subject but did you buy it from south wales?

Park a Audi R8 in front of it then people wont notice it

 

 

 

 

I dont think there is anything else you can use apart from t cut have you tried using t cut on an electric buffer to bring it back to the original paint work? If not get some super fine wet and dry and buff it out with that right down to the original paint work! then buff it back up with a good buffing cream.

I thought of wet n dry but did'nt want to risk the paint work underneath as it's so mint. As for the R8 which is a very nice car. The BMW scares the fxxking life out of me and i've owned 3 Ford Cosworths, 3dr, Saphire 4x4 and Scorpio Estate. My wife drives a GTI golf but refuse's to drive the BMW as it makes her feal sick.

Not much you can do I'm afraid, apart from getting the affected area sprayed again to match. The paint underneath has probably been keyed with a scotch pad or something similar anyway. (or should have been.)

 

He probably painted the whole lot to blend (blow) the colour in. Is it a metallic paint? If so, that's probably why, as it's damn near impossible to match a newly painted panel with the rest of the bodywork, due to the metal particles in the paint lying a different way, as all spray guns have a slightly different pattern.

ok do you want to strip paint completely?

if so nitromors strips completly to the metal!

if not down on your arse with the light sand paper very wet!

It's not Metalic paint, No laquer and he did'nt key any of what i've uncoverd so far. I can't understand why he would paint the rear panel as the paint underneath in like new. Looks like i'm going to have Red hands for at least and hour every day this week!
