    What Paddy said is the best way, same as i did on mine to remove the texture.
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    you need a compressor and spray gun to get the build with 2k primer.tinni cans are no good.

    started a respray today. got a grill to colour code.take some pics of process if you want.
