Paint Question

A number of years ago I had a Ford truck that had been used for years by a small local volunteer fire department. This was a very nice low mileage truck that they had hand painted a couple of times with a cheap red enamel. I removed this stuff with oven cleaner and lots of water and gentle use of a plastic bristle brush. One had to be careful not to soften the good paint underneath too much or that would lift also. The result was reasonably good but not perfect. I was able to polish the original paint and do some touch up for a finish that looked like an old original surface. I would think the success of this would deoend a lot on the quality of the repaint and the durability of the original paint. Good luck!<BR>Jon Lee
