What type of paint is this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello,

I'm stripping paint off my Nova project. The previous owner said stuff about POR and Lizard Skin he applied to the project car before I got it.

But this doesn't look like either one of those. Any thoughts on what it is? Its everywhere and strips/peels off in sheets.

The por15 I tried on my frame (before I stripped it back off) looked like that as it peeled off.

Just about anything is going to peel like that if the substrate isn't prepped properly.

You could get $500 gallon paint to do that if you don't prep properly.

Thanks for the replies. I figured it needed to go.

I have been wire wheeling, DA'ing, and hand sanding for days. I hope I got it all off. At this point, shy of sending the car out for media blasting, I think I've gotten the most of what I'll be able to prep on the car.

I just hope/worry its enough.
