Removing paint with acetone
Hope everyone had a wonderful and merry Christmas, but now it is time to get back to work.
I'm working on a couple of doors that will be replacements on my '86 flareside. Found them in the JY, had the p/l, p/w and the price was right. Now I need to get them ready to paint.
When I was removing the weather strip adhesive with acetone, I found that the paint came off, also. Just the color coat, not the primer. I am wondering if I will run into any problems when I apply my primer and top coat? Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I'm sure someone else will differ.......but if it were me I would strip it down to the primer and then seal it before applying the top coat. Since it comes off with acetone it should sand off rather easily.

Thanks for the feedback. As I stated, the paint came off very easy and I am able to get to all of the cracks and creases with ease. I plan to sand with 150 grit and then primer with 2K primer. My concern is if there will be any residue from the acetone that might cause problems later. The original primer doesn't seem to be bothered and I plan to wash everything with a degreaser before applying the primer.

Whatever residue left will be evaporated or washed away before you apply 2K. That stuff is a good sealer primer to use....I have painted over that "dead" paint but don't think it is a good idea w/o sealing it first.
