Gerahead's 71 Dart

I ended up finishing off the deck lid with a 3M spun fiber disc. I used this on the remainder of the deck lid to remove most of the remaining paint. I was careful not to get into the substrate metal, using only the weight of the grinder to encourage the process. If I started to see sparks fly..........I dialed it back. The smooth clean area on the first deck lid photo is all that I got done in 2-1/2 hours with a DA. At that rate, I wouldn't live long enough to finish this project. After working it over with the disc, I used a wheel made of a similar material, but not as coarse to knock down some of the areas that still had paint. It also worked well to clean out the curve at the edge of the lid. Then I went over the whole thing again with the DA, first with 80-grit and then again with 150. After a good bath in wax and grease remover...........2 coats of epoxy primer. Now on to the next task.
