I got some more of that crap off. I guess since the rhino liner was peeling itself off in a few spots the previous owner spray painted that area with black paint. (mainly on the hood) hopefully by next weekend I will have the front clip in primer (half asz primed at least) When I do my rebuild I will do the body primer and paint better then. Just want this crap off the truck.

are you using any kind of heat?
maybe a heat gun would do it some good.

Here what all I have tried to remove the rhino liner so far.

Temp 1: Side grinder.. That is a mess and does a lot more damage to the panel then I want it to.

Temp 2: Heat gun and scraper.. Takes way to long!! Took roughly 20 min to do a 12x12 (inches) area.

Temp 3: Aircraft paint remover.. fastest way I found so far. can strip whole fender roughly in 30 min

I was thinking of applying aircraft remover and let it bubble up some then take my power washer to it, but it's broke at the moment.

All I know no matter on my plan of removal it takes some of the paint with it.

your best bet is to use aircraft stripper and get it all down to bare metal.
then use a DA sander with 36 & 80 grit.
everyone tells me to rhino line my truck, but...no thanks!

you can also try a 36 grit on a high speed buffer.
may gum up the paper alot.
stay away from edges tho.

WATER ....WATER.....use a very HIGH volume HIGH pressure power washer with sandblaster attachment!

Just saying...that should remove any and all of the rhino liner and then some..

Well got all the Rhino liner off the hood. They spray painted with black paint where the rhino liner started to peel up from. I'm surprised the paint remover didn't remove it as well. Hopefully I will have good weather Sunday :rotflmao (50% chance of rain) and no emergency calls to run. I can drag out the air compressor and sand this front end with 80 grit DA. Then touch it up some with 220 grit. Rest of the cowl panel is black paint.

I got this accomplished yesterday before the wife yelled at me to come in lol. Nothing fancy just rattle can primer for now. Once I get my barn built and of course a back up truck this will be done correctly. But for now get the rhino liner off it. I'm wondering of I can paint chrome black?

Just an opinion, but that's like taking the bad looking rhino liner and moving it to pieces that should be shiny. I never like painted chrome.

That said, prime first, but it should take paint. Best thing I imagine would be to sand it first. But then there's no going back.

Much lower speed than an angle grinder. I think the wheel would fly apart at 9000 rpm. If you had a variable speed grinder...maybe.
