Time to say good-bye to the red.

Not the car, the paint. I decided it's about time to get serious about removing the red paint.





I only had time to do a little strip tonight. I mostly wanted to figure out a technique and test my 'hold the door out a little while tied to a brick' theory. I've found that old gift cards make great scrapers. They're tough but won't scratch the stainless.

Awesome, Kenny. Good luck!

Will you still call her Red when you're done?

Keep us posted as you go! I'm very anxious to see how it progresses!

Take plenty of pics, I love seeing painted DeLoreans reborn. Here is a very helpful video on removing red paint and regraining stainless. These guys are goooooooooood. It gets very informative around 2:20. You do have a belt sander right?

I think you're putting a lot of stress on the roofcage and the tortion bar working on the doors like that.

Not to get too far off topic but arent these the guys that ended up having the car re-possessed mid road trip or something?

Best of luck with the stripping! Definitely post pics!

I just stripped my back fascia, same story gray paint never bond to primer and pulled right off. The gray premiere on the other hand does stick. I used sem bumper stripper. It turns the primer to liquid but if you don't wipe it of or spray it off it drys right back like you didn't do anything.

This may the quickest paint to stainless ever! Great job, glad you finally had an easy day.
