Thanks. I was so depressed I just sat in the living room all of last night and planned how to try and quickly get all the paint back off. Normally I'd be in the garage tinkering with parts.
I looked at the paint this morning before leaving for work. It's MUCH worse than it appeared as the sun went down yesterday. I hope the fresh paint is still soft enough that chemical strippers will remove it easily.
Sigh.

Aircraft stripper should remove pretty much any paint.
Sorry to hear of the SNAFU. I felt the same way when I realized after I had welded in the reproduction rear valance on my 64 Spoitfire that the left side was not like the right side. It wasn't unitl I offered up the rea fenders that I realized it. I walked away from that project for years after that.

The rain predicted for yesterday did not last so when I got home from work I applied a heavy coat of Strip-Eze to the bulkhead. The urethane was still new enough that within 5 minutes the finish started to split into strips, lift, and curl on top of the primer. I was then able to scrape off about 95% of the top coat.
It's pouring rain here today but when that stops I hope to apply a second coat of stripper to the bulkhead to lift the remaining red paint and soften the primer's bond to the metal. Eventually I'll drag the sandblaster out to remove every last trace.
Thanks again for the well wishes. I know I'll get there albeit weeks behind when I thought!

Wicked Bummer!! That happened to me once on an Olds 442 that I had painted with Imron, when it first came out in the early 70's. It was a bear to get off, as we let it set all weekend in a hot paint booth to cure. It didn't show after 24 hours, so we thought it was fine, but Monday morning it was a horror show when we opened the booth doors.
