You can apply minimal amount of paint remover.. instead of sanding hard.


After you remove the paint sand it by using #400 Sandpaper.


Then apply spray paint Epoxy-Acrylic paint.


Apply this 1st coating..after 5min-10mins, re-apply your final coat... Much better to paint in good weather...How will i get rid of the enamel (base paint) on a plastic, i want to paint my bike with acrylic?
to remove enamel use acoleman propane fuel keep it about 4'; away and TAKE YOUR TIME remeber, if you have the time to paint your bike , you have the time to do it right.
Sand it down to the base and don't use a chemical remover, use sandpaper and elbowgrease!It needs to be etched then with an etching compound, this helps the paint to adhere, then prime it, then apply your acrylic paint. Good luck!
You can sandblast your tins,plastic or metal.
