Woa. Too Bling for my tastes. Interesting perspex panels, must have been some sore of showcase truck.

I was after more of a simple, paint stripper and 1200 grit and let nature turn her grey.

Yes - ask killer for some pics of the "Silver Bullet" as he has christened it. I don't have any in electronic form.

Actually I have this one. The yellow bonnet and blue/green other panels (and the fact that dad was too tight to pay for some paint) are the reasons we stripped it:


I suspect what you are looking for is a "brushed" finish - like Mal's Sidewinder


It is a LOT of work on a previously painted vehicle - and you may find a few surprises under the paint. The worst part is small dints where they have ground the panel with a coarse sanding disc. The dint itself doesn't look to bad in a brushed finish, but the grinding marks are almost impossible to sand out.
