Thanks Gordon Title: Re: paint stripping Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 25, 2012, 02:15:59 PM I've had two cars stripped at Minus Paint in Adelaide, as long as you follow the directions there are no disadvantages. You'll hear horror stories about every process so don't go by anecdotes (My mate's, mate's, sister's boyfriend's cousin said...) try to get feedback from people who have actually had the work done.
From experience Minus Paint will strip the paint and filler, then in a separate process remove all rust, it's usally not pretty then they'll etch prime it.

As with every process its a process and cutting corners can cause issues like if they don't get rid of the stripping agent and it is eating away behind the mask of the paint in all the folds etc. But same goes for badly prepared blasted jobs or using crap primers.
