G'day,
I recently sent my shell to a soda blaster to have the paint removed. Unfortunately the person who had once painted it purple did not use a primer, and subsequently the paint had leeched well down into the shell, thus no amount of stripping was going to help. Now I've painted the shell to resemble the original colour. I used dupont stock code G0462 which was a close match to the original colour to what could be found.
Hope this helps.
Jason
