I've purchased another 96 Tracker from a friend . He painted it camo and did not do a very good job . The paint has started to chip. I took it to the car wash and was able to "spray" some of the paint off (was not preped for paint!). I am in the process of taking the paint off to the original color, preping it for paint, and I think I may have the whole thing rhino-lined!
Other than sanding, has anyone got a few pointers on a easier way to get the paint off?

The rubber around the windows has paint on it and the rubber over the front window also. Is there a way to get this paint off of the rubber? I thought about using the Krylon plastic paint to see if that would work .

Use laquer thinner on a rag and rub it off the weatherstrips, it will also take off the oxidation off just be sure to apply a rubber conditioner or belt dressing after removing the paint. To strip off the old paint off the body you can also use the laquer thinner or Easy Off oven cleaner or sand it off with 320 or 400 grit paper. As far as Rhino lining the body, I have heard off people with overheating problems due to the liner insulating heat in the body. Imagine like your wearing a full scuba suit on a 100 degree day on asphalt.  :oOUCH!

Thanks! I dont know about the overheating though. The air conditioner does not work and it will be running with a bikini top in the summer! I've heard about the ez off oven cleaner I just was not sure if that would actually work and I really dont want to go all the way to the bear metal with it. I have some concerns about getting it on the plastic body parts also. I think I'm going to have to sand it down to original!

I had  '57 Willies Wagoneer that was my trail/camping/hunting rig.  I had it rhino lined on the outside Babyblue (factory color) And it was awesome.  I got so many compiments on it on the trail and past 3 ' away it is hard to see that it is rhinolined.  Well worth the money, you're gonna love it.

If the paint is coming off that easily, I would suggest wet sanding it off with 360 grit wet sandpaper.  Following up with 400 grit wet.  This will have the added advantqage of having it all ready for the new paint, whatever you decide to do. 

I wet sanded mine with 400 to prep the surface, and sprayed it with dark equipment gray enamel.  It is holding up pretty well.  The nice thing about a rattle can paint job is that when we scraped the tree, I just popped the dents out as best we could, wet sanded it and resprayed.
