Just need help regarding the stripping of paint off my spoiler so i can re-spray it.
sanding it down is one way, though is there any other way, preferably quicker?

Cheers :)

spoiler? thats made out of plastic isnt it? cant use paint stripper on plastics it'll also strip your plastic material.
i did it on my side mirrors to respray cos it was getting pink lol and it made tiny holes on the plastic.

Hahahahaahahaha!

Get 800 grit wet/dry paper, fill a bucket with warm water and add a little bit of dishwashing liquid, put a rag in the bucket too.. Wipe the rag on the spoiler and use the sandpaper to wet sand it ofcourse using a sanding block too! Don't use a sanding block whilst on the corners though, you just want to open the pores ;)

Doesn't need to be 1000+ unless he wants to be sanding forever.
