the510keeper Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 on on and on Chemical stripper sucks nowadays so i went with 36 grit 7 inch disc on a 5inch air grinder, slow RPM to remove old paint material, No sparks, as sparks mean your removing metal. Almost saw dust like Area between the rear window and truck also had 12 coats of paint or more, these cheap Harbor Freight chisels work great. watch out for your eyes This Bird is a DD or all of these little areas would have been blasted and cake. hand work in these areas is hours of work Quote Link to comment
