Well, after spending hours, and hours sanding the paint off the '63 Sedan, i got pissed off, and wanted to just stop working on it for while (not good for keeping the fire burning). I decided to go the route of strippers, even though I know the neighbors aint gonna like it too much (screw em anyhow). I tried an eco- friendly batch from Wal-Mart.......WORTHLESS (it barely touched the more recent layer on the nose of the car) although it did make the old paint shine. I tried another type, from the local Bi-Mart. It at least got a pretty good bit of the second paint off the front, but wouldn't touch the factory on the rest of the car. I tried som Kleen-Strip air craft stripper from the local Car-Quest. Only moderately better than the Bi-Mart stuff. So, I went to NAPA, picked up a gallon of Martin Senour brand stripper for $30. I tried just a little bit on an area of the roof, that had factory paint on it, that nothing else would touch. I didn't even have to wait the 15 minute minimum, and a scraper took it right off in one swipe. So, I'll never use another brand again. NAPA stripper all the way baby.
Paint Strippers GRRR
