The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

This topic has cropped up a few times. I've finally got round to doing the spare on XAA, after all, it is not only the Royal Family who need Air 'n' spare <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>
<br>
Only part way through, but i've taken some photo's. Technique<br>
1. wire brush by hand and 80 Grit Dry to remove the crud<br>
2. Paint stripper to remove old lacquer & powder coat<br>
3. 120 Grit wet n dry to start.<br>
<br>
Now need another dose of paint stripper, and more Wet 'n Dry, coming down to about 1000 grit in stages, always with plenty of soap and water<br>

On my other Sprint these need doing and if they look as good as yours I think i will do the same as you.

Malc - I finished mine off with 1200 grit, then used wire wool & Autosol then just Autosol. Painted using Hammerite Smooth black (of course).
