Any safe way to strip a botched paint job on a nose cone without ruining it??
Last week I shot Krylon primer on my LOC IV nose cone, waited a few days, then shot Krylon gloss white paint. Waited a few more days to cure. Looking great! Last night I shot some Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel on it..... bubble and crinkles galore!!!
I had done the same thing a few weeks ago, primer, paint, with the only difference being I first shot a few coats of Krylon Fusion clear over it. A few days later, unimpressed with the gloss on the Krylon Fusion clear, I put a few coats of the Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel over it and the finish was fantastic with no problems.
Is there any safe way to strip the current botched paint job without ruining the plastic? I've tried scrapping and sanding......what a mess. I'm afraid to use anything like a solvent, unless you guys know of a safe one to use??
Once I redo it, I picked up some Krylon Fusion white (for plastic) that I will use with no primer..... and then give it a few coats of fusion clear before applying the Rustoleaum clear enamel. Seems the Fusion clear protects the paint under it from the enamel and they appear to play nice.
Now I now why they put the word "pain" is in "paint".............:y:
