After stripping the paint off the guards it appeared that the lower base coats were in good nick and it was actually the top coat that was done poorly. It also took forever getting the paint off and I figured if I was doing the whole car like that I'd be there till christmas!
I needed to figure out a way of getting the top layer of paint off with out stripping the car back to bare metal. I didn't want to sand it off as I could loose the design fold lines through the body.
I remembered my old trusty scraper from my old cabinet making days. As you can see from the photo above I've been able to scrape the top black layer of paint off leaving the good paint below.
You can also see the design fold lines are still quite sharp!
Good job mate - wear a mask for any sanding as there is lead in the paintwork
