Hi there

Try B&Q, they do stuff called Nitromors. Follow the instructions, and really coat the surface well!! Only thing if you are doing a whole shell it may be quite pricey!!

But good luck anyho

I had a try of standard Nitromorse against the automotive stuff and I can say that the standard stuff didnt really do much to my paint, so probably try Halfords rather than B&Q

[mini-gti]

other than that go to a automotive refininshin suppliers and see what the sell probably be alot cheaper

Nitromors. yuck, wouldn't touch the stuff. b*sturd to clean up too and unless you get every last spec off, it will knacker up your primer.

Much better to sand down,

Oh and welcome to the roller club!

Patients People!!

Nitromors isnt that bad if you take your time with it, and follow the instructions. Not slap it on then go for a brew and forget to scrape the stuff off, then yeah its a m**** f****

Ive had great results with it, and no problems with paints / primers either.

Still ill stick to using it on small application tho!

Its what works best for you i guess

Happy Mini...ing

Personally I would go with the sanding route on an orbital sander.

This will do a couple of things, minor imperfections in the metal will be filled with the old paint and your are effectively preparing the surface for painting at the same time as stripping the car.
If you Nitromorse the car you will have to remove every spec of filler/paint etc as it will all become contaminated.

If you want to go the Nitromorse route then here is a tip
take the wing as an example

Run masking tape down the edge of the wing (next to the bonnet) about 5 mm and then Nitromorse.
This will stop it getting into all the small spaces etc.
for those I would recommend a small detail sander (£10 from B+Q)
