So Im about ready to get all the old paint off my car and I was thinking of using chemical stripper. Whats the best stuff? Ive heard aircraft stripper, but I live in Cali-stinkin-fornia, so nothing is legal. Any suggestions on where to pick up something that works on LA or orange county?

Some more tips:
1. if you're stripping lots of coats of paint off, then take a utility knife and scratch the top layer. The goal is to give the stripper a faster way to get "down" to the metal base. 2. also, once you put the stripper down on the surface, don't mess with it. Brush in one direction, and let it be. Then, cover it with Saran Wrap. That will prevent the stripper from drying out, and will force the active chemicals to work down towards the metal base. With this method, I cut my consumption of the chemical by 75%. -Rusty |
