paint
 
as i was washing and waxing my roadbike, i have some places where it looks like it was touched up with wrong paint. But when i looked closer, it looks like the bike was painted over, and it still has the original paint underneath. Now how would i go about getting that paint ontop off to get to the original paint without harming the original paint?

YOU CAN'T. Sorry, but there is no efficient way to successfully acomplish that. (without harming the original paint!) REPAINT!!! or powdercoat... Redo the original color or be original & pick a NEW color.

How do I know it can't be done?. . . . . .(don't ask, you'll just have to trust me)

No disputing Dr. Deltron's words, but remember...this Huffy ain't worth the expense of anything more than a rattle can job.

Uhhh...unless it's one of those lovely Carlton's masquerading as a Huffy.

I have one of those, transparent red and ugly green over chrome, Huffy Catalina with Carlton belts on the forks.
