LoL!

Here I go again! Forgot to take before shots so you'll have to use your imagination.

So, I've had this Rhino Rays front bumper for nearly 3 years, bought used and then left it under the bench.
Till today!

Someone had drilled holes in it to attach a front number plate instead of double sided tape, or my favourite, sticky magnetic sheet.

So I dragged the mig out and welded up the holes and then ground flat again.

As I said earlier, I forgot the Before pictures. :blush:

What do you guys recommend to get the old black lumpy paint off?
Blow torch or paint stripper?

Angle grinder with wire cup brush is too noisy and makes my hand go numb. :laugh:

Perhaps home-made napalm may be a better bet?

Now where's the fairy liquid and my stock of old petrol??? :evil:
