I have a nice argent 70 Challenger grille that I'd like to use on my R/T, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on the easiest way to remove the original argent so that I can repaint it black. Something that won't damage the aluminum. Aircraft stripper maybe?
Well, today I tried Klean Strip which is what Home Depot carries for a paint stripper, and it took the black paint right off of the original grill and bezels from my R/T but didn't do much on the argent grill. That argent paint is tough stuff and the texture in it seems to be the culprit. I guess I should have tried the Aircraft stripper from the getgo.
I'm interested in this topic. I have a 1970 grille that a previous owner painted all black, but I'm not sure what's under it.
I'd like to make at least close to the correct finish, would the products mentioned here be what I need to strip the black from where it's not supposed to be?
I have no idea if it will work, but maybe acetone? Of course try it in inconspicuous place. I used it on my freshly painted driver side door to horrific results. It ate right through the clear and paint al the way to the primer almost immediately. Not sure if it will work on 50+ year old Argent Paint, but maybe.
