So my 48 has a few coats of paint. Some red some primer and the original. I had plans of painting it the seacrest green but upon some boredom sanding o discovered that very color. My question is could a rubbing compound get the base color off to expose the original paint without destroying it.

It would take a long time. Better to sand with something like 1500 wet or dry, wet. It would cut faster than rubbing compound would, at it would be pretty slow, you could use finer too, I think they color sand with 2000 or 1500 then a rubbing compound to polish it.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

Go for it. I'd use 600 or 1000g to get to through the top coats.
Who knows what else you'll discover cause its gonna get really boring.
