G`day guys,
Have bought an old lure and it has been resprayed using spray paint . It then has been sealed with acrylic clear from a spray can. Would like to remove then clear and the paint leaving the original clear and original paint undisturbed and in good condition on the lure. What is the best way of doing this? Have got a lot of patience and don`t care how long it takes. The lure is a timber stumpy. As far as I can tell it has never been swam . The paint started to crack and so it was repainted and then sold to me. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions regards Chris |

Thanks for that Tim, Very good advice. Have to remove the clear coat first.which is very tough I think that brake fluid is the go and then the other steps. On closer inspection the lure has been swam briefly and the paint work underneath is much worse than I imagined. Thanks again. Chris

I just picked up an older c lure . Which you would have seen on the bay . RePainted crap so I'm sanding it all of giving it a whole new paint and then sending it back to its maker ...might put a post of my stages of it ..... So sometimes I reckon just rub them back and give them a new look .... . Cheers Aaron

The lure turned out to be a number 9 stumpy. Methods of cleaning were good. But the lures original paint is to bad and therefore it will be a nude stumpy. Very disappointing about the original paint. But a nude stumpy should look good . I really hope it has a good grain.
Thanks for the info Tim. Cheers Chris |

G`day mike, I see what you mean, very light indeed. Now that I have seen a nude one. I can`t help but wonder what a semi nude one would look like. Or even a rich red tint in the clear coat over some back Sargent stripes. .I will have to think about it for a while before I do it. Thanks Mike for your input.

Bob, also consider "fuming", this is a process they use to remove layers of paint from old paintings, saw it done years ago when working as a picture framer--
You hang the object on a jar lid and add a small amount of solvent to the jar (attach the lid without the object being immersed in the solvent) until you find the right one to dissolve the top coating, start with turps and work through alcohol, thinners and on to acetone and MEK etc until you find something that will dissolve the coating-- Because it's only fumes attacking the coating and not a liquid, it's pretty mild (and slow). How much time have you got?? I often use this to clean out an air brush overnight---also good to strip back plastic lures, BUT keep an eye on it. Pete |
