The BEST Way to REMOVE Old Paint!

[@Squisheyy]

I really appreciate the garage work and seeing the results, especially if it doesn’t go as planned. We all can really learn from it.

[@stevegus2845]

Recently did all my panels, Took me about 40 minutes to strip a 1986 bonnet, faded factory paint cleaned back to bare metal here in Australia using CAM paint stripper and cling wrap. It fried it like you expected. Contains >60% weight Methylene Chloride.

[@GBooth]

Can't get the methylene chloride stripper in the U.S. anymore. Can't get real lacquer thinner, MEK, toluene or other chemicals in many states now, either. I do wonder how much we're damaging the environment now using the less effective, less-toxic (but still toxic)mandated substitutes; if you use more of these chemicals and take more time, wouldn't the effects be the same - or even worse? It's like the mandated "low water use toilets" from years ago, it was found a while later that they actually used *more* water than their predecessors as you had to flush them multiple times to clear the pan!

Have you used your paint removal tool yet ??? How was it

[@novinnovations4026]

The older aircraft remover is night and day compared to the new formula. I used to use it to strip fully cured paint on panels and valve covers and it would take it down to the metal in minutes. The new stuff is massively disappointing (although less toxic, but why use it if it doesn't work now).

[@48Boxer]

Yeah, you could watch it work as you put it on. Even the stuff in the spray can worked nearly instantly. One spray can probably would have taken care of that entire hood.

I was in aviation my career, and was around a lot of aircraft paint stripping. Believe me, that 'aircraft paint stripper' isn't what's really used to strip aircraft. The stuff they really use will burn you just from the fumes. And, after it sits a while, the paint is falling on the floor in sheets. So far, I've found nothing on the automotive market that works worth a flip on good paint..

I went through this with an old hood for my 30 A coupe hot rod project, last year. I didn't think about the change in ingredients. I just went about it the way I did years back when it was "good stuff". After using the whole can after a couple attempts and wonder wtf happened, haha, I went manually, too. It needed to be done because the whole hood was oxidized under the paint. I love your channel. It's given me the confidence to do the finish work on this long-term project.

Hey Brian , good video. I stripped my corvette with a razor blade. I heard about this but was amazed how well it worked. Once you get a good start it comes off quick. You still have to sand the sharp curves a little . Just vacuum up the chips . NO MESS

You doing amazing work bud. I'm a painter myself with the difference that I'm working in general aviation environment. Latest videos shown how much different our departments are.

Old timer told me to wear earplugs when spraying because it will find its way into the body. His co-worker got ear cancer as a workshop spray painter … he’s ok after treatments. I use full hoodie with balaclava painters net, goggles and earplugs and resp. It’s a bit of a uniform but that forces me to be as efficient as possible with my labour time.

[@bobfrankish972]

Hey Brian, here in the UK I know of about 3 brands of paint stripper that you can buy at the moment that actually work. They all burn badly if you splash them onto your skin, so this is a mark that they might work as intended. There is a brand called Nitromors which used to be the best, it is now totally useless. It will not even strip household paint. Unfortunately, you can probably remember that the old paint strippers used to get straight down to bare metal in one application, the new ones that actually do still work need at least 2 applications on car paint finishes.

[@williampetsch1244]

This was a great episode. You answered what I was thinking of wether to chemical strip vs sanding. Plus the rattle can 2 epoxy is how I’ll be doing my approach till I can get a decent compressor and my first spray gun. Thanks for your informative show

[@ranapratapsingh3416]

I just used 80/180 Grid with a orbital Sander and I got very good results. Chemicals are worthless in removing old paint. I applied etching primer on the Hood and the surface is very smooth unlike the chemicals which removed the paint in bits and pieces. So useless. I strongly suggest Sanding vs using chemicals.

The paint stripper I used about 10 years ago on the boot lid of my fairlane was so fast you couldn't coat half the panel before the paint lifted. I forgot what brand it was, my dad had for a long time before I used it.

Some states passed regulations that changed the formulations of a lot of paints, paint strippers and solvent based products making them lower voc. I believe that's the reason why the strippers were not as effective.

[@youderektube1]

I've had great luck using regular furniture stripper. It crinkled the paint on my truck before my eyes. None of this 'wait 40 minute' bullshit. The thing I liked about it was that it didn't destroy the galvanizing from the sheet metal surface like mechanical paint removal does.

Started with 40 grit on two different models of orbital sanders from Lowe’s - barely got the clear and base coat off, then tried rust oleum paint stripper from Walmart - let it sit for a day and that seemed to work but disappointed the pint barely covered 20% of the hood - at $35 a pop that’s pretty pricey - I’ll try the orbital sander next

[@Super_Sport_Marc]

For you guys that havent stripped a car to bare metal before you can also you a rotary with a resin 40 grit disk on low speed. Keep is moving and dont press hard. Stripping wheels are fast options also. Strippers are still on the shelves because big box stores want your money and it cost these manufacturers almost nothing to make the stripper now since the chloride is out of it. I have a few theories on why it's still sold but I'll put my tin foil hat back in my pocket 😅😅 good luck on your projects

I just used Aircraft stripper to strip a 67 Firebird Convertable. Worked just fine, admittedly not as well as the old formula. I used a brand new unopened gallon and saw paint peeling almost instantly. As I ran out I used the rest of an older can that I had opened for previous projects and noticed it didn't work as well. Perhaps this is helpful?

[@Imwright720]

Interesting video, I just saw another KZbinr used paint stripper on his Porsche. It seem to work really well, you could actually see the paint is peeling right up 15 minutes after they remove the plastic cover. I wonder if it's just a matter of brand of paint that was used or if it's a matter of brand of stripper. His said aircraft paint stripper I believe. Anyway, I've got a project similar to what you just did coming up. I was going to use a stripper on it now I'm not sure I even want to try.

I repainted a 1993 civic phoenix yellow (Y56) and painted it panel by panel over a few weeks. You should be ok as long as you put the same number of coats over every panel, use/mix the same paint, and spray in similar climate conditions (humidity, temp, etc).

It will be a rattle can job BTW. Thanks in advance!

Chemical stripper can be good. Brand makes a big difference. I work in fleet repair. When you get a white Ford that paint is peeling, Pro Form aircraft stripper will get it to bare metal in 1-2 coats without scuffing the paint first. If I did not need to do body work I would then wet on wet paint it the same day. Harder to do that grinding it off. When I was at GM doing paint warranty work in the 90's, we would use 8" 80 grit on the polisher/grinder. You could just use the old style DA that can lock in grinder mode. Chemical on the lacquer, yes GM had lacquer in the 90's, was red. I stripped a Ford grey hood last month, clear was cracking and had 4 layers of paint. 3 were factory as the entire car had 3 layers on panels that had never been painted. I scuffed it with 80 and was about 3 coats. When it works it saves you time because you can go do something else as it wrinkles. I have not tried the plastic trick. I have seen several cars that have been painted more than once at the factory, sometimes it creates a big mess because you get a shiny layer when feathering.
