Lude Generation

So, I've got a JDM / USDM spec front lip to replace the Motegi front lip on my 5G Lude. I wanna completely strip it, but rather strangely Nitromors is having no or little effect. Are there any effective alternatives?

Sand blast

Sand paper? Maybe ask ratty?

I haven't got sand blasting facilities in my dad's shed.

Might have to go the sand paper route, but wanna try something less labour intensive first.

Gonna give brake fluid a go, but I doubt that will work if Nitromors isn't working.

I did think of Ratty, our resident bodywork and ICE guru, maybe he'll pop his head in and will give us his opinion soon.

Wickes own paint stripper

dont use brake fluid be a waste of time

Wikes stuff is crap and i would use it on plastic. Dont sandblast.

Just go in with 120grit sand paper on a block. I used Abranet. Followed by 180grit and then 400grit.
Then prime.
Its a lip so wont take long.

Worked well on everything I've used it on, but didn't think about the fact that Carry's lip is plastic

I'm assuming you meant "wouldn't" use it on plastic?

i wouldnt use anything other than sand paper imo. if its got paint on it already use it as an undercoat. i wouldnt go at it with 180 though. 400-600 would be the corsest i would start with.

is it plastic or is it fibreglass ? if its fibreglass i def wouldn't use nitromorse i do believe it gets into the resin and causes all sorts of problems when you try to paint over it.
