However, if the paint has properly adhered to the primer, using the blade might not be possible. Once paint has been removed, you may want to remove the rest of primer and areas of paint that were not possible to remove with the blade .

never start off with a used blade ,nicks will scratch deeply in the metal ,as soon as you get a dig change the blade ,(get a box of blades)straight back blades for body work if the ends of the blade are rounded {slightly}from use it will keep you from gouging the metal.but an exelent way to start is by rubbing the new blade quickly back and forth over glass like your trying to scrape off overspray,this removes small burrs in new blades
