Know a good technique for sanding inside the rear vents?
My van's previous owner sprayed the whole thing black with no surface prep. I've sanded all this off apart from inside the rear vents which are a pain to get to. Does anyone know a good technique for this job?

If it's not been prepped then the paint will have very little or no adhesion, I would try a pressure washer first, that's what we do to get rid of most smart repair paint jobs when we need to paint over them or repair them.
