Thanks for the reply, Robert. I was thinking that NitroMors was the kiddy but was too scared to try it Thanks for being the guinea pig
I hope mine will turn out at least half as good as yours.

hello Robert
This is a cracking job you've done here. As others have stated, your dedication to perfection is commendable. Can't wait to see the end result
I would very much like to know which product you used to strip the nosecone I know you said it was a horrible job and I see you were using baco foil.......to stop the stripper from drying out????

Hi Oldbloke,
thanks for comments,
I tried soda blasting, bead & grit blasting, none worked as the Polyurethane is flexible and was only heating up rather than blasting.
I resorted to standard 'Nitromors all-purpose' paint remover (DIY shops)
The aluminium tape was just to protect the black grille & bumper as I restored them to black plastic finish - not painted.
Dab the stripper on small sections. Once it blisters,scrape off immediately with a plastic body filler spreader and those green pot scrub pads. Then wash with warm water to neutralise the stripper. Dry area and start next section
slow job.

Well I have just read this Reto Thread from the start ,all I can say is stunning ,I actually looked at the last page first and thought is was another tidy up of an already concorse car how wrong was I
I would not even thought it was salvageable ,a credit to you PRS makes my exploits with SAG seem so minor .
Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming to give us lesser able resoration pundits hope

Thanks Skids,
"long hard road" as they say , but end in sight now. I'll post a few more pics soon. they might be some encouragement to all the guys at the 'rust removal' stage.

Looking lovely mate

Looks like it's resting on a tin of paint at the back there, tell me that's not true!?!

Looking fantastic there though, can't wait to be at this stage.

hadn't noticed that in the picture, no , the paint drum is only holding up the back of the frame while I was lowering it down.
The shell was sitting on the trolly jack and axle stand and hanging from a roof hoist at the front.

Keep at yours, it will come together and then its great putting all the clean and new bits back on.
