Remove Top Layer of Paint & Save Patina

We got a hood that was the right colour originally BUT had been repainted, can we remove THAT paint and reclaim the original?
We can and we did, come along and I’ll show you what I did

I'm in the U.K, I want to remove about 3 layers of paint on my 58 Buick to get to the original. What is that product you used? Oven cleaner? Not sure we have anything like that in the u.k. what type/brand did you use?

[@shortcutgarage]

Easy Off oven Cleaner, we get it at the dollar store here. Very inexpensive

[@yeahhh928]

Look awesome. Does the oven cleaner not eat the paint down to the metal?

[@shortcutgarage]

Sure didn’t. Didn’t hurt the factory paint

[@mirshaakbar3689]

What spray do you use? Can remove putty to? Thanks. I need to find my original vespa paint. That have 3 layer repainted

[@shortcutgarage]

Just cheap Oven cleaner. Definitely will soften the putty if left on too long

[@Keep-em-straight]

[@shortcutgarage]
