I recently bought this supercharger (used) it was completely rebuilt back in May and is good to go. But, the previous owner painted it...

I want to remove the old paint and repaint it. What's the best way of going about doing this?

Just sand and re prime and paint? Or what?

Thanks guys.

wholly crap, looks like my 4 year nephew painted it...

 

Yeah, tell me about it...

 

Yuc.

Well, best way to do it would be to get it media blasted after sealing it up real tight.

Besides that, Could try paint stripper.

 

I say leave it alone. It must add 15 hp.

But seriously I think Ace has the best idea. Just make sure you've sealed it up good. You don't want that media inside your sc.

 

wire wheel, perhaps?

 

LMAO as soon as i read the topic line i knew it was glassdoc's old S/C!

 

Yeah I thought about media blasting it, but i'm really afraid I'll get media into the supercharger and ruin it. I'm afraid what paint stripper will do although that's not a bad option either.

Now that's not a bad idea, i'll still have to seal everything off as to not get dust into the S/C.

Lol! You're right!

 

Looks like it came out of a McDonald's happy meal.

 

Hot wheels coloring is a must

 

Yes, this is why the paint is being removed.

 

if you do use a wire-wheel, make sure the steel won't gouge the sc. if it does, try a brass wire wheel

 

I'm not even going to mess around, i'm just gonna start with a brass wire wheel, and/or sandpaper.

 

sounds good.

now all we need are pics! >ahem<

 

What would you like pics of Ian?

 

well, whenever you get that s.charger painted, that.

don't forget your timing chain this weekend!

 

did that come from galssdoc with the red taco? ray? If so, he is a real stand up dude in my opinion. i have known him for years, real good guy and his wife donna is real nice too. we go up to their house every time they have a tacoberfest cook-out.

 

Yeah it was him, he mentioned you. Was a super nice guy!

 

Oh yea Ray is a nice guy... his taste for underhood painting does not match with mine He def. knows how to throw a party tho... tacoberfest 07' was awesome.

 

Yeah he was a real great guy! He was willing to help me out with the install as much as possible. But I agree his underhood painting taste is questionable lol.
