Wing Prep! (Cont.)

Today, started removing the rally stripes using this:



Spray it on let it sit for 15 minutes:





Using some heat (heat gun) start pulling it up:



After removing the residue, clay barred the trunk lid, guess what I found 'under' the stripes:







Checked the paint and sure enough, pitted -- was a CRAP paint job @ the factory for sure. The stripes were put on with this bad paint...

So, looks like I'll need to have the top repainted -- went ahead and removed the bowtie. Tried using 2000 grit wet to sand a bit but its badly pitted.

I'll have it painted 'after' the wing is setup so I do it just once...

Figures I'd get a hidden 'crap' GM paint job -- but at least I have all the hardware already and it won't be a bad thing to have it fixed right...
