Re: [Chevelle-list] Pre paint

Don't use lacquer thinner. Any wax & grease remover will do but not lacquer thinner. W&G remover is usually mostly naptha with other solvents to slow the evaporation. Lacquer thinner is mostly acetone which will attack many plastics and paints. W&G remover is designed to float oils, wax and other impurities to the surface where they can be removed with a clean rag before the solvent evaporates and lets the contaminants settle back down on the surface.   Considering the work it takes to prepare a car for paint, and the cost of automotive paint, W&G is cheap insurance.   Bill Vander Werf   PPG distributor     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Sullivan To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Pre paint I guess I'll use lacquer thinner.  I use it for most everything else anyway.  Didn't know if PrepSol had something special in it that made it worth the extra bucks.   I sent something to Prepsol but never heard back from them.
