Re: Stripping Paint of Skirt Kit

["Jim Buck/BahnBurners!" <vwpride@mixi.net>]

Paul, let's start with the basics.  Is it a body kit off a S2 16valve?  Was
it ever repainted? Or does it have the factory finish?  If it does, you
don't need to strip the paint.  Just smooth it, prime it and shoot it with a
ton of flex compound in the paint.  What, is he afraid it's gonna rust?
Now if it was repainted, he may be wanting to strip it down incase the paint
did not adhere to the parts very well.
