How I use Aircraft Paint Remover! Chemical Paint stripping and neutralizing a 1965 Cadillac

I use a polisher with a bottle brush but I would not do it inside that garage Outside away from everything. Brush on the stripper let it set for a few minutes then rinse it with water and dry it off. then use a woven bottle brush and a polisher THen recoat with stripper. after that the scratches in the paint allow the stripper to penetrate and the next time it is about bare metal. Does not scratch the metal below either. only removes the paint and leaves nice clean metal below. Then sand off the remaining paint with a da. Done I can do a whole car in 4 to 5 hours. complete. and I am talking 5 to 6 layers of paint. in one shot.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Thanks Mike. What is a woven bottle brush? I googled it with no luck.

@@RatsnestHotrods it is actually called a twisted cup brush Harbor freight has them they work wonders. you can strip anything in seconds. they have a set of them I also use them to strip wheels. Does not damage the metal at all. just removes the paint in seconds.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Perfect thanks Mike! Love ur channel Sir!

[@garrymullins8010]

This is the best instructional video I have seen on paint stripping with chemicals, Thanks.

[@garrymullins8393]

Garry Mullins What brand of stripper did you use?

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Master Pro from Oreilleys. On of the commentors said the Rustoleum brand is better but this stuff worked well. Good luck!

[@jasonstevens5926]

Nice Tip with using the plastic to hold in the chemical. Nice to see the Tech wearing a PAPR system. This Aircract stripper is no joke so play it safe when using...

[@joelgomez5806]

ive used paint stripper once & i got side effects from that stuff, all because i didnt wear a respirator protector

[@royboy4741]

I just use this stuff the first time yesterday extremely impressed.

[@deankay4434]

In 2017 at the home improvement stores, I notice the price started going up, yet a milder stripper for varnish from the same company was being offered. It was an “Ouut-Ohh” moment. I bought a gallon almost every week then started getting two. I saved about $100 as the price kept going up. But I am doing an older truck that is painted inside. I think the cost to produce “Methylene Chloride” was being phased out or the concentration was going down, if you read the cans. I learned a lesson a dozen years ago with a 6 gallon metal bucket of 5 gallons of “CRC” carb cleaner. It finally ate the bucket. I got 4 O-ring seal 5 gallon buckets for free at a fast food placed, just asked the manager. I poured every can I purchased into the pails, a little glue to hold gasket still and a 2 X 4 and hammer is my stash, after a hammer was used to seal the lid. Others had said that a layer of wax covers the top, but the plastic speaks for itself. I do like your air-supply helmet I hope has an activated carbon filter. It is very mobile on your belt so battery & fan must be part of the assembly. Good for you. The government is taking away our freedoms little by little. Less good chemical, more expensive and less effective. I got tired just watching you work that stripper. Wow. I was watching to know what some use to neutralize the final wash. I feel like you...”Put water on metal”. Ok, but air dry it and 80 grit the entire surface, if you can still walk. Nice project, nice video. Hit like and subscribed already. Blessings as that two step ladder is killer on your legs too. Thanks!

I'm about to start this process tomorrow on a 1982 caddy fleetwood hearse! Great video! Love the music!

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Badass! Good luck!

[@ryanho7033]

Awesome video man. Got links to the music?

[@recnepsgnitnarb6530]

Great video. Thanks for the tips. I'm getting my '72 Chevy C20 ready for paint.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hey Spencer! Thanks for watching! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you as well! Dig the old C series trucks! Have a good one

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

The plastic makes it stat moist longer. Nice explanation.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Well when u say it that way it just sounds wrong!

[@dimitria2175]

Hey I have seen that brand somewhere cause I tried the one at advance auto and the auto zone brand and it worked but mostly on the most recent paint and very little bit of the original paint but I and doing a custom 2004 caddy

[@appliancedude63]

Thanks for sharing. I'm at this stage now. Thanks for the tips.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Thanks for watching 63!

[@pcallah3442]

Nobody asked me but if you did I'd say use the real Rust Oleum "Aircraft Remover", that guy worked too hard with that "Master Pro" stuff. For those who can't read, don't use the stuff on fiberglass unless you want to wonder where your hood went.

[@b.neallee7042]

That plastic works great. I'm just about ready to paint my 1969 AMC AMX 390 GO PACK CAR. Do you suggest putting go pack stripes on top of the clearcoat? Would they mess up the clearcoat if I put them under the clearcoat? I watched a old film of assembly line and they put all stripes as last step in process. Thanks, Neal good work

[@anthonybrennan1075]

Man that's a job! You need to get yourself a Ray to help you with this mate. Haha!

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hahahahaha I do need to get myself a Ray!

I restore classic semi trucks. Always working with aluminum with tons of rivets. I try to rough the river surface with a soft bristle drill attachment. Of course we deal with countless layers of paint as well. I will try the plastic truck on my 65 Peterbilt today. FYI do not use Aircraft Stripper on anything fiberglass!!!

[@RatsnestHotrods]

How cool! Worth a shot for sure! No aircraft stripper on a Corvette haha!

[@Okie-Tom]

Chris Barber , so then fiberglass is sanding only. Good info.

[@deloycepaulk3169]

@@RatsnestHotrodsThey do make an aircraft stripper specifically designed for fiberglass. Klean Strip aircraft fiberglass paint stripper FYI.

[@bryanroupe8646]

I was wanting to use this aircraft stripper to strip a foxbody project all the way down to bare sheet metal. Then I was going to coat it with shark hide or matte clear. Will this not strip all the paint to bare sheet metal ?

[@bctw9004]

Awesome!!! Thx for posting. I would think Saran Wrap would work as good for small areas.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hey Chris! Yeah that would work! Thanks for watching!

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I used this stuff in the early 90s on my 67 chevelle and it seemed to be pretty strong stuff. Had a nasty sting to it. And boy did it stink. Had to do it outside.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Sounds like it hasn't changed too much then!

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Ratsnest Hotrods that's what I hear. Haven't used it again to compare for myself.

[@donaldzimmer8364]

Wondering how long you estimate it took for all the steps you took to strip the entire car? I have a 1970 Impala that's probably similar in size. Deciding if it worth doing myself or paying a pro shop to strip it.

[@dateatorjr9671]

Man I hate the mess that crap makes but I use it because it works and it beats sanding. I use glass bead in my cabinet. It works great on everything. I wouldn’t want that in my garage though. I have a wet sump vac hooked up to my cabinet and a bead or two somehow always ends up in between my teeth and makes a nice crunch sound.. you know what I mean?

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hahhhahahhaha! Dude I blast in my shop! Of course I know what you mean! Thanks for watching Da!

[@DEUCE2151]

Great job! I know you you said it has no affect on the plastic covering but how about the tape? Is it good in protecting painted parts that you don't want affected?

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hey A Alvarez! Thanks for watching! No it didn't have any affect on the tape. The only thing I would be concerned with is some seeping under the tape. I didn't have that problem though. Just use automotive paint grade tape like I did. Good luck!

[@Okie-Tom]

Now I found your paint stripping video. Stripper is nasty stuff! Oh, tell me what your process is when you use your Ospho? Thanks, Tom

Ratsnest Hotrods LOL no not at all

[@bctw9004]

We tried it on a fiberglass Kenworth hood and in two days it looked like warped board. Epic fail.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Holy crap! Good to know!

[@deloycepaulk3169]

Did you use the stripper specifically designed for fiberglass? A friend of mine strips glass boats with it all the time.

[@chrismansker8870]

great video thank you for sharing the info where do you get the glass media for the blaster dose harbor freight sell that. thanks

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Harbor Freight does sell some but it is expensive. I get mine at a place called Kleenblast. They are local in Tacoma, WA but will ship if needed. I would check around for a wholesaler in your area. Much cheaper that way. Hey thanks for watching!

Good video. Once the "Auctioneer Song" started though, I scrambled to hit the like button. Usually I'll wait till the end of a video, but you got me with one of my favorite songs.
