Tucker Torpedo TH - Stripping off the tampoos

Recommended Posts

I don´t like the original tampo, since it doesn´t match with the car style, so I decided to strip it off completely!!!

It´s still missing some detailing, like the head lights, hood ornament etc...

Starting with a piece of cotton cloth and acethone (diluted), after, I used a cotton swab and finally a toothpick for cleaning the grooves


80% removed


95% removed


That´s the best I could do!!!


Ready!!!






Now, side by side with his brother from the Boulevard series!!!

That´s correct!

But please take care, depending on concentration (all nail polish removers are a solution of acethone) you may remove the main painting!!!

Be careful to not demage the base paint!!!

If it´s your first job I recommend that you try something easier!

The first part removing large areas is quick and easy, but the hard work is to remove near the corners, windows columns, grooves. You take aproximately 15min in the first part and more than an hour to do the detailed cleaning!!! Also be patient, do not try to remove everything in a few minutes!

Good luck!!!
