Stripping paint, it the past my choice for removing paint was paint remover, lacquer thinner, and sand blasting with fine sand, but now I am not so sure. Clearly there is place for paint remover like in those tight spots. I have also seen complete cars dipped in the electrolysis process and they come completely clean of everything, but I do not the money for that. Everything I have learned has been from body shop supply stores and brief conversations with body shops, mostly as a paying customer. The last time I stripped a car I used my small sandblaster and paint remover. When I told the body shop guy he showed me a way where he took a grinder and a ruff grade pad and just started grinding the paint off. So this time I go to supply place and the guy tells me I need an 8 inch mug hog and he would has to order one for 300.00 So I went HF and bought what they had and it kinda worked.
Today I was going to start on the hood. It has original paint, a red with brown/red primmer and has no dents; it is a nice piece. So I am curious what others do.
