Painters tape on bare metal?
I need to refinish my trunk lid, but I dont expect my drill battery to have enough juice to take the paint off in one go. If I clean a section to bare metal, would painters tape keep it from rusting for any period of time?

a fine mist of fogging oil applied with a cloth might do the trick
|
Get an angle grinder.
|
Buy a second battery? Buy (borrow?) a power tool that plugs into a wall?
|
Will the oil mess with the paint?
No money to buy an angle grinder, wish I had one Even if I had an angle grinder, or a plug in drill, I have no place to plug it in at since I will be doing this in the parking lot of my apartment building. |
Buy cheap
|
How about remove the trunklid and take it someplace where you have electricity?
|
WD40 is literally designed to do what you need to do. Coat the bare metal with it.

aircraft grade paint stripper!

lol, here we go again.
I dont have a tarp or anything to cover whats in my trunk while the lid is off. The parking lot is a fair distance from my apartment and I dont think anyone would appreciate me dragging an extension cord from here to there. Would WD40 leave a residue that would effect the paint later on? I have a can of stripper, which is awesome stuff. But I want to strip it on the car, and I dont want to repaint the underside. |
Sav said exactly what I was thinking before I opened this thread. I would WD40 and then remove it with Acetone later. Just spray a little on a towel and wipe down the metal.

WD40. My flywheel is covered in it while in storage.
|
NOOOOOoooooooooooooooo OIL of any sort! Just shoot it with some self etching primer! Using any WD40 or anything like that is a BAD idea if youre gonna paint anything.

Remove lid, carpet, and drain plugs. Paint in apartment, replace.
