Stripping it ? or prepping for paint ?

[inhumane]

underneath the blue color it is now, its white

so i just wanna strip the blue off to match my car until i get the whole car done

[inhumane]

anyone help me out lol

[Rapier46]

start with a lower grit and work yourself up. it'll take forever to strip the blue off. maybe google it for solid info

[rb-racer]

you would be better off spraying it with some spray paint

[inhumane]

blue shows through white

What material is the bumper made out of? Are you priming it, painting it, or both? And what kind of paint will you be using?

[inhumane]

its fiberglass, but i just want to sand it down because its white underneath and then when i can afford to get the car repainted ill get it all done so it matches perfectly

[Muss@GeneticTuning]

The white underneath may just be a Gel Coat ontop of the fiberglass. If you want to revert back to white, just sand the blue down with 400 grit and spray bomb it white for a quick fix. Should make it decent enough until you get it painted. I wouldn't recommend you even bother with clearcoat as the rattle can stuff is less than adequate. Be sure to let us know when you want to do it right ;) we also offer a pick-up and delivery service if driving to Kelowna isn't your idea of a good weekend.
