My 93 bronco was half arse repainted 4 years ago… no clear coat and quickly done… now sections are bubbled with lots of flaking. What’s the easiest way to remove all the paint and start over?

Aircraft stripper.

Or, brake fluid then pressure washer.

Agreed. 302k miles and counting. It’s a toy but she’s my baby. Gonna roll with the primer look for a while

Can’t believe Ford made the remake of the Broncos look like crap.

The early 90s Broncos are great hunting vehicles

In some instances you can hire someone to come out and soda bead blast your vehicle at your house.

Check around locally. They'll have a blasting rig on a trailer. Park your car over like tarp to collect everything

Not sure, it’s dark green now which I like but I’m tempted to strip and repaint just the problem areas like the hood and a quarter panel. Rattle can paint job is in order given the miles/value

I have seen it all with trucks and SUVs in town.

Raised up multiple inches with drum tires, lowered Dooley trucks and those “Carolina Squatters, huge loud pipes, loud subwoofer systems, etc

OK, let me get this straight. You want to go through the trouble of stripping paint off a vehicle, prime it and then spray it with "rattle cans".

I can hear a song going off in my head and it's:


"M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E"

SEM rattle can paint is pretty legit and the spray pattern is awesome.

I used the Bumper Coater to bring back to life all my black plastics.

They look amazing. SEM ain't cheap but durable. The nozzle is great

For not much more though you can get you a one time use spray rig from harbor freight and find you a car quest and get you some paint.

They can tell you how to mix and shoot it and end up with a damn decent paint job.
