Whats the best way to remove the black coating from new panels?

Does it all need to be removed? Inside and Out?

Thanks

nitromors paint stripper a metal scouring pad is what we use. depends on which panels it is about both sides or not petrsonally we strip both sides back to bare metal for the best paint job

petrol and a match don't use methanol tho

No

I've never bothered removing it personally. Never had any trouble.

can't believe you said that Fireman Graham, about the methanol that is

there isn't an emoticon with tongue firmly in cheek

Off topic its healing up quite well

good

If it's a black left wing for AK, then all off - otherwise it will lift later, taking your final finish with it, presenting bare metal for the rust bug to eat!
