Fizz can paint
Just picked up a bronco cheap, and the previous owner apparently thought that the fizz can was the best thing since sliced bread. Anyway, I'm sure that the oem paint was shot (it's an 86), but I would like to remove the fizz can paint as I have repeatedly been told that it can cause bad things with professional paint. Also, as I am doing the repair job, is there a fizz can primer that will not wreak havoc when I go to paint this truck?

If you're determined to use the ol rattle can, just make sure that you dust on a couple coats lightly at first, this will ensure that any solvent reactions are kept to a minimum ( lifting and such ). I've never liked rattle can primers with the exception of etch primers for the simple fact that they really have no filler qualities. They're fine for a small job, but if you get into a situation where you need to define body lines and such, I still stick with the ol trusty laquer primers.

If anyone is interested, I made a call to an automotive painter friend of mine. He said go to a paint store and ask for the lacquer primer in the fizz can. I have to leave the truck outside due to lack of garage space, so I need to protect anything I do right then. He also said that a graffiti (sp?) remover might be a thought. He also said maybe oven cleaner, but do a very small spot at a time and be at a carwash when I try it so as to remove it immediately. I think I will try the lacquer thinner on a rag first though.

Tried the rag and thinner today for about 5 min. This is gonna take awhile. I'm back to looking for other ideas. It worked but I didn't get much done. I pretty much got just enough done to get a getter idea of the tan color on the bottom.
