Absolute Nightmare!!! Paint Topic

HI all,

In my infinite wisdom, I decided to refinish one of my Precision's.

I wanted to go for the horrible Jean Jacques Burnel Green & Yellow with Tort PG finish as seen on his early videos and photos.

I set about prepping the body, got the paint and go stuck into it.....

Well trying this finish, and not getting it wrong (even though by all accounts the original was bad) it came out the wrong shade, wrong place and to make matters worse, the paint went really bad and reacted.

Now the back looks like rippled stone chip.

How do I get this off? I've tried a little black & decker sander, and it just clogs up the sand paper. Now I managed to get to the ''Original' finish and it was black originally. Then it went Vintage White and then my horrific finish.

Do I go, Hairdryer Scraper combo and get everything off even the original finish?

Or

Sand 7 shades out of it and spray over the top?

Any help greatly received

Garth

Car paints are often acrylic, so acetone will most likely work. Just apply using a rag and it should rub off easily.

Thanks mate I'll give it a whirl tomorrow
