Exterior Prep & Sticker Removal
At 20:45 in
IT'S TIME! Buying Our First Former NASCAR Race Car! (Former Busch Series Monte Carlo)
What happens here
The stock car's exterior, specifically the side panels and around the roof, is prepared for new vinyl. This involves using a heat gun to carefully remove old racing stickers and vinyl wraps. The remaining residue is then cleaned off. The crew also notes that the roof was previously blue during Erik Almirola's time and black during Joey Logano's time, indicating multiple layers of paint/wrap over the years. The black portion of the roof reveals a slight raised area where old roof flaps were filled in for weight distribution, a common modification in NASCAR.
Goal: Prepare exterior body panels for new paint or vinyl application.
