The Rover-Landers of BC

I saw what I believe to be a 110 going up the cut yesterday afternoon. It looked a little funny with paint patches all over it... yellow and army green... perhaps being stripped?

:D

If it was going slow then that was me.

It has 15 layers of paint so I strip a bit off at a time when I have time.

You going to be at founders day Mike? I'd like to see the 110 again ;)

Whistler110, it was you then :D Hey, if you are looking for a great product to remove military paint, have I got news for you.

I used to know someone (I'm sure I'll be in trouble for this) who owned British Pacific Motors in West Van...

Anyways, a client brought in this product from Napier Industries (over on Annacis Island) and it was a paint remover that came in an aerosol can. You sprayed it on, left it over night, and it made all the layers of paint come off like KFC chicken skin! It even made the toxic paint bio-degradable and safe for the drains.

If you can find the stuff it works wonders. It goes through all the layers of paint and creates an air pocket layer between the metal and paint, and the paint slips right off.

I recall the industrial strength paint removers that were used to remove the military paint melted the paint brushes in about thirty minutes. This might be worth a try if you can find it.

Hey Andrew, unfortunetly I won't be able to make it. The one thing that sucks about working for a ski hill is that I never seem to get weekends off. This past Sunday was my first full day off in 2 months so I had to use it to load up on cheaper groceries and supplies from Vancouver. I can't complain though, it's been an amazing skiing.

I have a paint stripper that takes 3 layers at a time and is designed for aircraft so is safe on the aluminum but it's toxic, so I don't use it unless I have the time to clean it up. I'll have to look into that stuff from Napier. Thanks.

The product is called RemoveALL

Thanks.

I like the look of the oil stain remover as well :lol:

So where do you buy that stuff? Direct?

I'd just go to their website and phone them. They are located on Annacis island/Delta.
