I have no idea why i can't sand the paint off the 53. 40, 60, 80, and 120 grit all gums up instantly on the hood and 1 front fender. I've used flapper wheels in 40 and 60 grit and they've only lasted a few minutes. It's like the paint melts and smears when you try to sand it. Its apparently a repaint but is every bit of 20 years old. There's too many niks and deep scratches to just scuff it up to primer, and it wont just scuff up, it balls up. Any suggestions other than a stripper? 60 grit discs on the grinder last about 3 minutes. Im about ready to burn it off with a propane torch, in small sections of course. I've never had really old paint do this before.
