    Default BEST Paint remover I've EVER used

    I must start with this dis-claimer because s few of the members will FREAK-OUT AND START A PI**ING MATCH about it, if I didn't ..... The other day I had to make some changes to the frame/cradle that carries the rear end on my 917 project car ..... In the area's where I needed to add struts , I had to re-move all the paint in order to get strong welds.... but there was no way I could get in and grind or sand it off .....so I researched on-line and picked this product based on info and reviews ....It's a for petroleum paint removal from Metal only .... It's a " Klean-Strip "product Labeled as - AIRCRAFT _ Paint Remover ( of course it warns not to use on actual aircraft ) ...... Part # EAR322 , it is sold at many Auto parts stores ( I got mine at ADVANCE Auto ) ..... about $12.00 for 18oz. spray can ...... not cheap but well worth the cost, even if it was double that ...... I highly advise following ALL the instructions - especially the SAFETY ones .... This stuff is literally ACID in a can..... It won't actually dis-solve ( as in make disappear ) the paint ....you will have to wipe it off , but you end up with BARE metal............ good luck ..... I feel the need to repeat this - I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PAINT EXPERT - THIS INFO IS MY ..... OPINION ONLY .... and I have no credentials ....NONE ...regarding this stuff...............I hope this pleases the ones who NEED pleasing ..............Mike

    For over the counter paint stripper it works pretty good.

    Real aircraft paint stripper, not available in stores, is actually a bunch more powerful, but safe on metals it is rated for.

    Absolutely follow the safety warnings.

    If you can get it, Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) probably misspelled but it will stip ALL paint etc from anything you put it on. When all else fails read the directions if it still fails follow the directions. Used it at Being to strip aluminum.


    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

    My brother used MEK to strip paint from coast guard hovercraft, in a confined space. Boy that stuff required all sorts of PPE from gloves and suits to breathing apparatus.
