How to remove ugly paint

'57Lapline · May 11, 2012

Hey guys,
So I've got a 14 foot Lund with some ugly green paint on it. I was wondering if using some paint stripper and a wire wheel? I know it will scratch the hull a little bit but It wont effect new paint would it? Here's some pics of what I"m working with.

CitriStrip in the Orange Can will do it! Might take a couple of hitches and some scraping.

put down the wire wheel and walk away slowly, it will do more harm than good................

and use woods idea

or maybe paint over it to the color you want ????

That is not ugly. Put a little tan, lighter green with some camo netting and you have one heck of a duck boat!

Re: How to remove ugly paint

actually i like that color because it matches the water well, and is dull, not shiny.............. i hate the glare from shiny tins, and paint in the sun on the water

After you put on paint remover you will find a course block of green scotch brite 4"x 3" x1" with a handle on it at Home Depot. It works very well. For the seams and rivit lines 3M has a yellow rubber disk that has abrasive in it and little fingers that cleans aroud all bumpy surfaces. They screw onto a small right angle grinder. The use of SOS pot cleaning pads and water should finish it for you don't use any coarse sandpaper it will show through the paint. I was going to paint mine to but it came out so nice I didn't.

I've been using some paint stripper from Walmart that's working pretty well and a green scotch brite pad to get the paint off. It's workin pretty well this far
