Garrard 401 Paint

[Darren D]

Aaron previously asked what paint was used and how to remove it for a re-paint.

Aaron, I don't know the exact make-up of the paint used but I suspect it's Cellulose. I would suggest you don't remove the paint. Two reasons,

Firstly: 401s (& 301s) chassis are cast. If you strip the paint off you are likely to be left with a lot of pits in the casting which may cause you problems when painting. I would therefore suggest you flatten and tidy up the existing paintwork, prime it and respray.
Secondly: It's an alloy chassis, painting bare ally is not impossible but can present its own problems.

best wishes
