I'm pulling mine off to sandblast them. This does look like a nice method. I'm almost tempted to go ahead and pull this off.

neglecting that fact that I "should" bleed my brakes more often.
anyone else have this probem..

Anyone here use anything higher than 400 grit when sanding? I want the surface to be very smooth before painting it.

you want to finish with at least 600. 400 will leave sand scratches

How much sanding do you do? Are you supposed to sand all the original red paint off? or just the original clearcoat?

I Used Tal-Strip from Avanced auto to get it done and just sanded what was left and then used fine sand paper to get a nice surface and then did my steps.I also used alcohol afterwards to clean reidue off.
