Paint Stripping:
Okay, I've disassembled the entire disc (link below). I've started stripping the paint (Aircraft chemical stripper), which seems to do a great job!! It'll take me some time to completely strip all pieces to an acceptable condition, but I have time.Questions:
1. Most of the paint comes off, except for a few stubborn areas, so I reapply, and it still doesn't come off, as if the paint has stained the metal? Should I sand this portion, and if it still doesn't come out, is it okay to prime over?
2. Or, should I use Acryli-Clean? I know I use this before priming or painting, but does it help to remove stained or stubborn paint? Sandpaper?
Painting:
I plan to paint the disc myself, sooo, if your going to recommend I take the pieces to a professional painter, then please do not respond! I need guidance, not paint shops! With that said, I have a budget, and plan to spend the money to acquire a descent gun, and quality mask. By the way, I was at a paint shop, and the gentleman said I didn't have to use a "clean air breathing system" for a one time painting with hardener? I know this isn't recommended, but is it necessary to use a clean air breathing system for a one time gig?? versus a quality mask & eye wear? (if you have no comment on this subject, no problem, I understand)
Painting Questions:
1. What hardener would you suggest? (slow drying versus fast drying) remember summer is here?
2. What paint/manufacturer would you suggest? I plan to paint the disc black.
3. What cleaner to use prior to priming? Acryli-clean?
4. What gun/brand would you suggest? I have a 2.5 horse power air tank (3/8" hose), which I know will do the job, and has a great recovery time! I believe a siphon gun would work best with a regulator attached @ the gun?
5. My budget for gun, hardener, paint, cleaner, mask, and anything else you may suggest is $230.00. Anything below this amount would be a savings! Are you up for the task? I hold nobody accountable, and view your response(s) as strickly information purposes only! I am responsible for the final choice of the supplies I utilize on this project! Hopefully, I haven't affended anyone, and I appreciate any or no information given! Note: I've read several Post's and responses, and have a general idea of the process. I printed "Rod's" response to a gentleman requesting assistance on painting without hardener. Which was a great response and detail of process step's I intend to follow?? Thanks.
