Spray painting Motorcycle Fuel Tank Question

Member Posts: 18
Hey all,
Quick question/ advice request.
I have a really clean vintage tank, Im doing a color change, so I am planning to just sand and break through the clear, clean, paint, shoot new clear.
Once I break through the clear, what's the best method to clean that existing base coat before shooting a new color? I have various stuff on hand, such as mineral spirits, good old dish soap, spray degreaser, vinegar, etc.
Thanks in advance,
P

Lacquer thinner wipe followed by a tack rag after it dries is usually my go-to. I definitely did not expect to see a question like this on HeatingHelp lol

Lacquer thinner might not be the best if it is lacquer. If it is enamel it should work well.0

It is just an abbreviation of preparation solvent. The one I have from duplicolor isn't very aggressive and I would question how well it removes wax.109A_5 said:Hello @electronictofu,
