[R-390] Front Panel Paint Removal

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Harry & gang:

That sounds like a very good idea.  Stripper is nasty and messy with gooey
caustic glop slopping and plopping all all over the place.  If some gets on
your garage floor, you'll be looking at gray splotches for many a year to
come.

As for the rear panel silk screening, it might be a good idea to refinish
that as well, with transfer lettering and a clearcoat.  (Doesn't have to be
perfect, 'cause ya' can't see it!) Even when you mask the panel holes on the
reverse side, some stripper soaks through and takes some paint on the back
anyway.

Of course, if your paint job doesn't come out so great the first time, you
may need to strip it again yourself anyway.  However, that comes off much
more easily -- but still mess-iliy. Don't ask me how I know this ;-)

Barry
