Use a fine grade Wet/dry paper depending on thickness of coat. 600 grade for thicker, 800 or 1200 for thinner coat. Use it wet and when the clearcoat wears through to the paint the residue should become the colour of the paint. Stop here and go to a finer grade to get the thinner surrounding clearcoat parts off. It is very time consuming and if I remember correctly the powdercoat should be re-laquered. Both 31trum and RPM are not wrong with their elbow grease tip.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
