ksnow Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 I tried some future on a hood. The finish crackled on me and now I need to strip and repaint. What would be the best chemical to strip the future? I am not too worried about the paint underneath as I need to repaint anyway. Thanks.
Bainford Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Windex (or anything with amonia in it) removes uncured Future. I'd try soaking the hood in it. 1

Don't even have to soak it. Household ammonia will wash it off right now. So will rubbing alcohol, but that can damage some acrylics and lacquers, so the ammonia is the preferred go-to in this situation. 1

ksnow Posted November 1, 2021 Author Posted November 1, 2021 TransAmMike, the Future was over rustoleum grey primer and rustoleum gloss black that had been polished.

Kinda late responding to this. I have to ask tho, I'm sure you did, but after polishing did you remove the polish from the paint before you did the future?
ksnow Posted November 4, 2021 Author Posted November 4, 2021 I'll be honest Mike, this was my first time trying polish and future together. I polished the hood, then wiped it well with a clean, soft cloth. Then I put the future on with a wide brush, pretty heavy. The future seemed to run right to the edges and I definitely had a corner that had no future on it. Is there a cleaner I should have used in between the polish and future? Maybe just soap and water? No problem with time, I've been in and out on road trips for work for the past few months, so not much happening at the model bench.
Painted Black Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Should have used a wax remover/degreaser before the future. Future likes a really clean surface to stick and lay down flat too.
