Turning cellulose paint

[Firefrode]

Hi
I have just been given some pieces of cellulose paint cracked from an old car and it has many layers.
I have cut two pieces into 12mm square blanks and will hopefully turn a twist pen
Any advice on turning layered paint??

Regards

It looks like it will be fun to turn them, I look forward to see what they turn out like

Wow. Personally, I can give you no advice at all, but I'm looking forward to the results.

Carl Jacobson has turned the paint on YouTube if it helps. The blanks look good.

Looks good, cant wait to see how it turns out.

Never turned any so can't help how to turn it sorry.. But I will :pray: it all goes well.

New concept for me mate. The blanks will change during turning so now anything is likely and possible. Interesting to see a before and after.

Would love to see the car, that has been painted that many times.

Incredible! Never heard of paint that thick, the results will be interesting but I guess one of your biggest challenges will be drilling for the tube.

That car must have weighed a ton carring all that excess baggage, didn't they have abrasives in the old days.

From what I have seen from Carl Jacobson's video's. Turn it with very sharp tools, very light cuts and stop often so the paint doesn't get hot and soften

Sounds better from a paint factory rather than from a panel off a car , in fact it makes sense now.
