Need some help..
 

What is the best way you guys have found to remove undercoating? I'm looking at a car that has this crap sprayed all underneath. Any ideas would really help.

thanks,

Sometimes a rose bud with a light flame and a scraper. We sacrifice a few a grill brushes once the heavy is gone to get the light residue, then the sandblaster.

I guess them main thing is how far are you going with this? If you want it like a frame off car then that is another thing, But a quick clean up and paint would be another .

I know my answer was not much help , Didnt mean to sound like a smart ass!

What ever happened to that guys 69 that was on ebay ?

Thanks guys. I'm having this car looked at tomorrow. It's a really nice car, but I will strip it and build it my way. I wanted to start with a nice complete car, not a shell like I did with the Camaro. I would really like to find one with perfect paint and body..

I never heard back from him and don't know what happened to it..

SW , Does this exist??? LOL !

It will!! :D

wax and grease remover along with wire brushes once the majority is scraped off with heat. this method works but i have been trying to find the "best" least amount of effort way to take it off with my gto...so far *superclean* and a steam cleaner have had the best results needing no physical labor. basically, hose on a coat of superclean and let it soak....repeat everytime you walk past it for about a week...then roll it out and hit it with the hotsy.

good luck.

SW-

I used Peel Away 7 to do the underbody of my 68 Firebird; This stuff worked phenominal. It goes on like a mayo paste, then you place their paper over it... wait a day or so depending on material depth (mine was 1/4" thick). bust out a scraper for the big stuff, and a pressure washer for the other areas (pw not needed, just quicker in some areas). My 30+yr coating rolled off super easy (so easy I used a set of plastic scrapers)

It's bio friendly, so that can keep ya out of hot water in some areas. they sell a neutralizer that will keep it from eating your paint if it touches it- no brainer there. Cost me $60-ish a gallon with enough paper to do the wheel wells and trunk area. Well worth it in my book- very very little associated odor. besides- it beats the **** out of having hot undercoating drop down on ya.

PS- It can be found at most paint stores like Sherwin Williams, Finishmasters, etc.
