Just bought a 92 civic HB vx from this owner and gutted the whole interior, and he paint the inside the car black...I'm not sure if he remove the sound deadening or not, but i want redo the paint color and paint it different colors....Is their way to remove the paint from the inside the car? or it the same way removing paint from the outside of the car? i already knoe how to remove the sound deadening.

Here the pixture, sorry camera phone.

 

is this spray paint?

If not, just sand it, primer it, and paint over it.


if it is pray paint, you will have to strip ALL of it off. Aircraft stripper is good, sanding, and laquer thinner.

 

what kind of sandpaper?

 

The JDM kind.

 

sorry for the dumb question but what is lacquer thinner

depends how rough it is...

if it's bad, start low
like 220. work to 400 grit. primer it.

then wet sand with 400 grit again.

ready for paint of your choice!


you can get laquer thinner at any auto parts store, hell, even wall mart has it in their auto paint area. Grab one of the gallon containers, like $8-10. you'll need a lot.

 

but what is lacquer thinner? and when do i apply it?

So i use 220, then 400, primer it, then wet sand with 400, then paint it...

 

any help here...

 

it's paint thinner solvent that evaporates quickly since it is very volatile...it will help dissassociate the bonds that are holding the paint to the surface. Pour it on the paint that you want taken off...it also is a good way to remove oil and grease on the surface to be painted.
Aircraft stripper is extremely harsh, and can damage synthetic polymers (plastics and stuff) so only use where it's a metallic finish and you want ALL of the paint removed.
