Removing Raptor Liner?!

[ThatDimeChickInAK5]

So I’m already aware I can go on google…this is faster & better advice! What’s the best way to remove raptor liner? The entire Bo of my rig is covered in it but I want it pink (don’t judge me) and not raptor liner.

Grinder, torch, scraper, aircraft paint stripper, LOTS of time. Really no other way around it.

I’m definitely on board with the airplane stripper that will happen. Already have that. But I just despise sanding, spending days with an orbital is NOT my idea of a great weekend! I may just spray paint the damn liner.

Don't blame you there. May see if a shop can spray a lay of pink raptor liner over it.

don't expect much from the aircraft stripper.. ever since they neutered it, it's pitiful...


a palm sander ain't gonna do much.. if I was gonna mechanical strip it, I would either hog it with a DA and 60 grit, or maybe a crudbuster type tool, like Eastwoods.....

I would also consider some heat and a high quality scraper too, just watch your fumes...

Oh I’m well aware I have a vintage batch of the stripper! It works magic! Fumes aren’t an issue she won’t fit in the garage I just have to pray it stays dry. I will have to figure out another way to sand it though. I really think I’ll just paint over the damn liner. It’s a toy so it doesn’t have to be perfect. I just wish the bondo under the liner now didn’t look so sh*tty!
