Ok I stripped my bonnet of paint over the weekend.
I counted seven different paint schemes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who can beat that ?
INterestingly- the original paint was still on- and remained untouched by chemical stripper.............

With a little creative sanding that would make one hell of an rat-look art car, if that Targa is anything to go by..

Yeh, it also makes an excellent way to lower the car !
I am sure mine sits about 3 inches higher now all that filler's gone
