Removing old paint from roof I just bought
I found an old roof in good shape locally for my 1999 Club Car DS. The paint was flaking off several areas. I got all the loose paint off with a plastic razor blade, but some areas have paint that is still adhering to top. Don't want to use a scraper or sandpaper because of the textured roof.
Any help on what painter remover/stripper to use that won't hurt the plastic roof |

Re: Removing old paint from roof I just bought
I just sandblasted mine. Have to be careful not to cut too hard and dig into the plastic but I think it took under 10 minutes. Gives a nice roughened surface for the new finish to adhere to too. Took longer to get out the compressor and blaster pot than the job itself.

Re: Removing old paint from roof I just bought
I’ve used paint stripper (for furniture) on them without any damage to the plastic. No guarantees it won’t damage yours, but I’ve done it many times.

Re: Removing old paint from roof I just bought
I don’t remember exactly but something from Lowe’s or Home Depot. Likely similar to this…
1-Quart Extra-strength Oil Paint, Alkyd Paint Stripper Semi-paste https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klean-Strip...-qt/1000659649 |

As bad as it is peeling maybe just a good pressure washer.

A pressure washer with a turbo nozzle will loosen a lot of that.

What’s your goal with it? If your gonna repaint or plastic restore I would hit it with a wire brush and spray over what’s there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Removing old paint from roof I just bought
I am going to repaint black. Just don't want the old paint to peel taking the new paint with it. Limited with what I have to work with here in Florida, all my stuff is back home in Michigan.
Think I will try wire brush and Bumper Coater stuff |
