We bought a tractor with the previous owners ID spray painted over a stencil onto the hood. Would it remove the ID w/o damaging the original paint?

KRUD KUTTER works better on fresh applied paint. I'll suggest to check it on small area first.

It should just screw out. Apply WD40 or Fluid Film to it and let sit for a couple of hours. Fluid Film is the best, works wonders. You can get it at a John Deere dealer or other tractor dealership.

I'm removing the original paint on a commercial cart, the same one you see at Home depot. The paint is really tough to remove down to metal, looks like I'm using up most of the woven pad. And this is before using hand scraper, needle scaler and hard disk grinder. However Norton is the fastest but most expensive - it's a trade off. Next time I'll try torching the paint off then follow up with a diamond grinder.

There's no reason to remove it. If you feel you must then go ahead with any technique already mentioned. You'll find however, the coating also hides the tooling marks. To remove this you will need to spend a few hours sanding and polishing. You'll then need to keep it oiled. There are different thoughts on this so I will refer you to YouTube to make your own decision on how to finish it out. The coating on mine has lasted a couple years of use and no rust issues

I had a crack on the top of my garden tractor fuel tank that has held for quite some time. A Kubota dealer would not service the tractor unless I had the fuel tank replaced (several hundred $'s). I used J-B Weld, sanded it and painted it. Not only has it solved the problem; but the dealer never noticed it was repaired!

It will remove loose paint & rust I used it on a rusty trailer. no need to remove good paint.

We used it under the hood of the car, under the frame and on the tires with no problem but did not spray it on any painted surfaces. I don't know if that would cause any damage or not. We chose everywhere we thought might be their path of entry under the vehicle. Our initial damage was over $4100 dollars to our truck that was driven everyday and parked in the driveway overnight. It's worked for us so far. Thank goodness. Good luck.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us

I doubt it, when removing it from the liner there's clearly an adhesive on the tint. Trying to remove that while not destroying the tint would be difficult at best.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

Even though I managed to spray paint (white ) using a cheap spray can of paint it is better to scrap the original black paint and apply a coat of appropriate primer and then the required color paint. That way it will be more durable and much more appealing . My van being more than 13 years old I don't want to spend too much on it that is why I just sprayed it without bothering to remove the original paint (black)it came with

Not recommended as the heat from under the hood of the engine will affect its performance. Also if it gets hot enough it will leak some sticky goo which will be impossible to get off without damaging your paint.

No. You would be wise to confirm with a body shop. I would think the metal embedded in the rust stains would simply be ground further into the paint.

Mine came with the original label stating the contents (800 rds 5.56mm, 4 ball 1 tracer, M27 link, etc). There was no spray paint covering it up. Brand new never taken to the field from what I can tell.

I'm going to guess that the paint was more than a little oxidized when you used the pre-cleaner, and now you have a gooey concoction/mess of dried, oxided paint and remnants of the cleaner. You CAN use "clay" as a clean-up tool, but it's going to be a protracted process. My recommendation is to purchase a gallon can (only qty. available) of either Dupont Prep-Sol or Acryli-Clean DX330. These are automotive paint shop grade degreasers. They will remove all traces of the mess you have, and you can use them for all degreasing/wax/road tar-removal tasks. Both work equally well, so I suggest you purchase by PRICE and AVAILABILITY. Typically, you will need to visit an automotive paint retail outlet/shop. It's worth the effort. You can expect prices to be in the $30-$40/gallon range. Wear nitrile or vinyl (not latex) gloves or your fingers/hands will be de-greased, as well! Good luck.

I believe it may leave some residue, but that can be removed with a little cooking oil, I think. I wouldn't try this on anything painted--the paint will rip right off.
