Paint removal.

[evollsixes]

hi guys, what is the best way to completly remove old paint if I dont have a sandblaster? What is a good chemical product or other solution. Thanks in advance

I've used ACE hardware's extra-strength stripper before...washes off with a garden hose.

Commercial oven cleaner works good.

So does Jasco paint stripper.

Still wont take care of rust, a sand blast b place can do it for $40 or less.

I found this. The stuff works great and doesn't burn your skin

I agree with GTO sand blasting is by far a fast and easy way to prep before paint.
Note: if you don't plan on painting after stripping you will need to protect the exposed metal areas with some type of rust inhibitor as rust will rapidly take over the bear metal and I do mean rapidly!!

I have used these with good results. It will remove paint to bare metal quickly. I used them on a cheap harborfreight angle grinder, dont know if a drill will spin them fast enough (might..).
Lots of guys use them to strip entire vehicles, so using them to stip a mini shouldnt take long. Took me maybe an hour to strip my entire 61 Apache hood, and that hood is HUGE.:thumbsup:

Looks kinda like a sponge, but its fairly HARD. 3M and alot of places make them, I forget what ya call them...
