Just wondering, as it seems this is an old school technique that I'm not familiar with, and I get the impression I'm not alone.
Roger, It ain't rocket science.
Just a couple boxes of $5 single edge razor blades, a good blade holder (shafted like a screwdriver), and dive into it.
Once ya get the feel of it, it ain't no big deal.
Just very time consuming.
Lacquer, enamel, urethane, that razor don't know the differance.
Actually easier to do a steel car as opposed to a glass car as the blade won't gouge the steel, but ya do break quite a few.
The real trick is to change blades a lot as they dull quickly.
On an average hood you'll use 10 - 15 blades, it's amazing how fast they dull.
