spanners Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So I want to POR15 the starlet floor inside. Problem I have is that the paint wont stick to anything other than bare metal as far as I know. I have been trying to clean off all the paint but 2 hours into it and a broken grinder... I did about 1/2 of the boot area. Anyone got any tricks? I have been using a wire brush wheel on the grinder but I dont think it is ideal.

JoKer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I prefer www.leakspin.com myself but dry0ice is good for sound deadening but not paint - automotive paint stripper and water blaster? /acid dip? and/or why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 yeah really paint stripper is pretty much your best bet And one of those sweet paint stripping discs made of sea weed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 one of those sweet paint stripping discs made of sea weed. purple 3m strip disc... but really no matter you use be prepared to put a few more hours into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 ^^ have done a couple of cars with these using a pneumatic tool to spin the 3m discs good and fast.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 another vote for the 3m type discs, though i used the no name version that are about 1/20th the price of the 3 m ones and last about half as long.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanners Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Im just annoyed cos my grinder got soo fuckin hot that the seal failed and it spewed oil onto my bare metal surfaces etc so now I have to buy marine prep POR15 shit to remove the grease. I spent maybe 3 hours today and got 1/4 of a square meter maybe done, just figured I was doing something wrong. I am extremely impressed with the quality of toyotas green paint. Maybe purple 3m disc will be a good idea. I have used one before - didnt last long but was good while it lasted. When you say paint stripper - which brand etc? Did some research tonight that suggested POR15 can be painted over normal paint, so I might just tear back the shitty parts and POR15 whatever is left. Will be amazing (CDL wat the fuck do yoooouuu know about toyotas? You bluffer, secret nissan/mitsi fan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yea it sticks to paint, just make sure you rough it up real good or it will peel off yo. Also use metal ready on bare metal bits, shits magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (CDL wat the fuck do yoooouuu know about toyotas? You bluffer, secret nissan/mitsi fan) oh nigga no you didnt If by saying Nissan you mean Datsun, then yes And if you mean by saying Mitsi you mean your mum, Then double yes Also the brand of stripper to use, Is Santa fe Dream Girls Unless you cant get there before 10pm for free entry Then I would suggest Turgo paint stripper (I could be wrong about the name, but its kinda like turbo but im sure it has a g in it) You might be able to buy that from union hardware, but dont know how much it is Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If the factory paint is that awesome then why POR15 it? If you want it black then paint it black. POR15 will stick to paint if you are really keen to use it. You can spray it too - but it does bubble up a bit. Having had a black interior on a race car once before - I would advise against it - but it is your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think it took me a day to strip my whole floor with a wire wheel, good quality one, tried cheaper ones and they were beyond shit and just fired off spikes at me. After full wire brush, then metal ready, then POR15 x2 or 3 coats. 2 Years later it was just as mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyworld Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 umm why do you want too use por15 and why do you need to bare metal the inside? why not just prepsol/red scrotch and flick with 2k - better result cheaper & less effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
