Hello,

I recently powerwashed my truck and was able to take off the top coat of white paint revealing its original cream color underneath. I’d like to strip the white of the rest of the truck but keep the original cream paint under neath. Any preferred methods? I tried 0000 steel wool and break cleaner and that took it off in a small area, but it’s a full size truck and that will take a lot of break cleaner.

thanks

 

Not a painter of any kind , but I would think wet sanding with 800 or 1000 grit and then buffing after would do the job

 

Get a bigger power washer! Seriously though, the paint should not peel like that, so it was poorly applied, that may work in your favour. I would try getting some really sticky tape and "wax it" like body hair, then use the 1000 grit for the stubborn parts that are left. Be warned, that paint was applied for a reason, and you may find bodywork underneath.
