Default How do I remove a crappy paint job??




I recently purchased a 97 ES300. 3 owner, 142k miles, and had gotten a pretty good deal on it due to some front bumper damage. It was a quick fix, I just went to a U-Pull-it and got the same year bumper for $40, but the car it came from was painted white.
Upon further inspection of the bumper, I saw it was the original paint was champagne-grey 2 tone that my car was.


White paint chipping Is there a method or chemical that I could use to remove the white paint and reveal the beautiful original color that was painted over by some ***-hat
