So I'm new to this kind of work and I'm going to install a new CPO on my Asteroids Deluxe CP. If there's a reasonable guide for this kind of work, or advice, it would be much appreciated. My basic plan is:
- Stick the CP in the oven to make the adhesive more pliable.
- Scrape the old CPO off with a paint scraper.
- Wire disc brush on a drill to get the adhesive off and get it down to metal.
- Prime it with rattle can Rustoleum.
- Do this
Anything I'm missing or should be aware of? I hate sanding with a passion, but maybe I should sand after getting the adhesive off / in between multiple coats of primer? That seems like it would be more important if I was getting the CP screen printed, rather than replacing the overlay.
