well, im trying to repaint my grill since there was a spot that i didnt like. however i tried some of the paint stripper however it only removed some of it and its going to take forever. Can anyone blast this for me???

i need to have it blasted or what ever to remove all the paint. It cant be warped from the blasting since its a thin sheet metal piece.

I need this done asap since i dont like driving around in a bimmer with the grill missing.:tup:

ok, I yelled at it for a while and that took off a little. But not enough because my car is tough as nails like myself.lol

anyway, i had some chips spreading and i wasnt happy with the original fix someone had previously tried to do soooo, i decided to strip it down and start from scratch.

I used aircraft stripper once and it started to remove the paint and took alot of it off. Im just not a patiant kinda guy, so i was just wondering if someone had a blasting cabinet of some sort. However i will just apply a few more coats of aircraft stripper until it comes off. This is takeing too long.lol
