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..

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.

Peel Away 7

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