Dean_mc88 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 so who ever put my engine in the car before I got it decided he would just spray the engine bay with under seal. whats the best way to get this off as its not like paint and cant be sanded off and I don't fancy spending a year with a Stanley knife blade scraping away haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Thinners or white spirit, just be careful of the paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 it will be getting a re spray so that's not an issue. does it come of easy ? as theres bits I cant really get to unless the engine comes out if its a hard job il leave it till the engine comes out in the winter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enots Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Mine was a nightmare I stripped the full underside of the shell. I used a wirewheel on a grinder dude wear a mask mind it absolutely stinks lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 If it's really quite thickly applied it will need soaking in thinner, I thoughtYou meant overspray at first, that's what mine was like after an under sealing lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 no some idiot has done it as if its paint, quick fix I suppose before the engine went in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rinseep82 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Drill and a wire wheel will rip it off and won't damage the metal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turboloon Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 petrol will take it right off as i had a rs turbo in the past that the fuel line came off,and the shutz /under seal was fucked just wiped off!!!..let it soak and use a scraper and rag..;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yeah, if you decide to grind it off with a buffing wheel wear a mask, as said it really does fucking stink of shit it's almost on the verge of gearbox oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrygt Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 try wd40 mate! thats what i used, it seems to brake it down....sounds daft but trust me it works and it wont damage your paint, i done it on my gt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
