Flex Posted July 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2014 Hey guys! I just picked up my first plywood footlocker today to store some of my collection in, anyway I have a question. I got it cheap but somebody painted over the original paint with a white, the white is chipping here and there, how do I strip off the top paint without hurting the original paint underneath?

Flex Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted July 29, 2014 I know there's a way, I saw it american restoration before, I wanna say a watered down mineral spirit but I don't know, I'm going to try a heat gun and hope it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted July 29, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2014 Try scrubbing with a nylon Scotch Brite pad using mineral spirits, Orange Goo B Gone type stuff or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
