Cucv Paint

Any tips on how to remove paint from the k5 toppers? Getting truck repainted and body guy can’t blast it

My paint shop instructor said to clean it and then give it several coats of 2k Urethane Primer. Sand so as not to go through the new primer and paint. That's what I did. Laid on heavy.

Well there are two layers of paint because it’s belonged to the sheriff’s dept

Just do a normal rough up with a DA sander and topcoat. No need to remove the Sheriff paint.

Might re-vinyl the top

What. If you are going to add a vinyl top that sure will be easier than painting it. But I would start off by sanding all the gloss paint off with 80 grit DA Sander and once you have it all off and smooth I would remove all the glass and seals and sand the entire top with 180 grit. Blow it all off and check that everything is smooth nd apply a good quality sealer. Something that needs no sanding and can be top coated with the desired finish. Flat paint is very forgiving in a semi dusty environment. I have painted the flat paints outside in the shade with great end results. That is cup gun spraying. Paint bombs do not cover as well and usually you end up with uneven paint flow and lots of dry over sprayed edges. 99.9% of the finished paint job is the result of the complete surface prep before applying finish paint. Do it right the first time. Good Luck.
