Hope you guys wont use it on white paint White paint laughs in the face of Carbolift. The best you can hope for is the Carbolift to soften the paint enough for you to get underneath it with a scapel/razor blade and scrape it off in chunks. _________________ 2010 Bianchi 928 SL / SRAM Red, Easton EA90 SLX Member of C.S.

I ended up cancelling my order w/ carbolift after waiting forever and just bought it from a local airplane supply place. Not sure where you're located but they have two stores (one on each coasts in the US). They're listed on carbolift's website if you are interested.

Scrape off when paint/lacquer has softened. _________________ 2010 Bianchi 928 SL / SRAM Red, Easton EA90 SLX Member of C.S. Grupetto
