Looking through the layers
Hi Lionel and Mike
Mike the g503 is a good link and what the guys had to say is good. My experience says what ever way you use proceed slowly and with real caution, start someplace that is highly unlikely to any marking and work your way down through the layers in bands so you can find out how many layers and what colors until you know whats there by layer all the way down to the bare steel.
Once you have a key to colors and layers move to the edge of panel that may have markings and see if the same layers are true to your test area.
My personnel experience has been wet sanding with orbital air sander with fine wet sand paper with flowing water to keep cleaned away. Other wise it forms a colored paste that hides what you are working on.
What vintage vehicle are you working with and what vintage paint?
Why I ask is that my HUP original CMP paint was completely different from the French OD paint on my C60S. They take different techniques to remove layer by layer.
Let us know how your paint archeology goes.
Cheers Phil
