Thread: PUP (polyurethane polymer paint)

Well *****. That all puts me in a bind.
I've discovered that both footwells are rusted badly.
The passenger side has a 6cm hole just where it angles up from the floor that someone has done a crappy job fixing by slapping some fiberglass over the hole from the inside and leaving it untouched on the outside (apart from some spray paint)
both sides have holes in the strengthening bars (or whatever you call them - the raised channels in the footwell panel).
I was planning on sanding them both back, fixing the holes properly and repainting.

can you used paint-stripper on PUP paint?
If not, I'm screwed. both really need to go back to bare metalto fix the rest of the surface rust that is taking hold.

<edit> forgot to mention the hole is right over the chassis outrigger, just to make it even more difficult to fix.

And is it safe to say the ADF use it purely because of its durability qualities?




Just catching the perentie bug.

1991 4X4 Regional Force Surveillance Soft Top (RFSV) ARN51673

2 pack poly it doesnt have all the extra nasty stuff in it that the PUP has.

there are some stripers that will deal with it but realistically you're going to be better off striping the thing down and having it sand blasted back by a professional paint place.
