g'day, into day three of my resto, here some shot's i thought i'd share. found a couple of pin holes in headlight peak's,other than that so far so good touch wood.         just a little concerned about these black stain mark's in the metal,will they effect final paint work (come back through).i couldn't seem to sand it out,as it's only in etch prime for now.easy to work with while still mounted,any idea's would be great. cheer's col. |

I think a once over with Deoxidine would do it.

Hi Col,
Did you use paint stripper to get to this point?
Cheers,
Graham

Graham Pretty much the question I asked via a PM - I thought it was too much of a 'noob' question to ask in the 'open'..... |

thank's fella's, cheer's ken thank's again for your info.as for the stripper i chose not to use it this time,i used a linish pad on a 4 inch grinder, then a wire wheel on a hand drill and then some hard hand sanding to smooth it all off. it was amazingly pretty fast too as i stated three day's and that was between beer's. cost so far f/a. cheer's col. |

I see the fats on the back have made an apearance - theres a good start  . Is a linish pad a rust and paint remover pad ? If so they are highly recomended ,Dusty but no mess of stripper and just be weary of using them on late model stuff as it warps panels - not a prob on FE FCs even with the gooey laquer |
