    It helps to scour the old paint with some coarse sandpaper before applying the stripper too, helps the stripper penetrate quicker

    Another reason to use paint stripper to do the heavy lifting, is that the less mechanical paint removal means less heat spotting from friction which can cause metal distortion. And if adding another tip, get some cheap plastic sheeting from supercheap and lay that over the paint stripper, it prevents it drying out so fast, contains fumes a bit more, which then results in it getting more paint off per usage.

      Also plastic sheeting for where the panel is stops the mess going around the shop, making it like a quick paint booth.

    Back when I was a lad. I bought a low millage (34,000 original miles) HQ coupe from out west that had a biff in the front. I meticulous sanded it back to bare metal using only a razor blade and dozens and dozens of sheets of wet and dry. I was warned about using paint stripper that it might distort the metal. What you have done there in a couple of minutes would have probably taken me at least a week of full days sanding. I am now wish seeing how easy that came off that I had used paint stripper.

    Quick tip for paint Stripper Scotty, Lay the gel stripper on the panel and then lay some Glad/Saran Wrap over top :-)
    Stops it drying fast and on larger panels you can do a strip at a time.

    One of the best reasons for chemical stripping, I found is - less heat into the panel for when I do my buzz over with the sander.

    Quick tip, apply the stripper then cover it with plastic (I use masking film) it prevents the stripper from drying out and keeps the reaction going so it bites far deeper. You just peel the plastic back as you go to keep it all wet.

    If you can get hold of clear pallet wrap, we would lay the paint stripper on & then put a layer of pallet wrap on to stop it drying out.
    Clingwrap may work the same

      Those cheap drop sheets from supercheap work alright too, if you set it up right depending on the size of the part being stripped you can lay part of the sheet on the ground under the panel, apply stripper and the pull the sheet up over the panel while the stripper cooks. Peel back when ready and then scrape into the sheet

    With next panel you paint strip try scoring the paint with the edge of the paint scraper or a Stanley knife , helps penetrate layers , and vinegar and water mixture to neutralise after scraping off if it’s acid based 👍🏻

    I did Summer work experience in a maintenance workshop at a country airfield back in my highschool days - they had a big rectangular concrete tank out the back (with a stainless steel lid on it) that was full of something. I don't know what the fluid was, it had similar consistency to a lightweight oil, but it'd take the paint (and I mean ALL the paint) off of a metal panel in a couple of hours. You could leave a bit of steel in it overnight and it'd be fine, but aluminium left in it for the same amount of time would get eaten away by whatever the chemical was, it went in for a max of two hours then got hosed off, no exceptions. No plastic or wood could go in the tank because they'd just get munched, plastic in a matter of 5-10 minutes, wood would be a different colour and kind of crumbly after about an hour. I don't know how old the goop was but I got a long bit of square tube and dunked it into the tank and it felt like there was about a foot of sludge at the bottom of the tank, so hundreds of bits of metal had been stripped in it and in the whole three months I was there they only repainted one plane (they really focused mostly on mechanical maintenance), so I suspect it had been there for many years, at least.

    Great video Scotty. Others have said use Glad Wrap, but I also noticed that you didn't put a cover over the floor when you were paint stripping. If you have pets, it's good to put down an old piece of plastic tarp or an old bed sheet in case the stripper material gets on the floor. If unprotected & pets come walking through, they'll have sore paws. With the paint stripper, I just lather it on like I did to a VZ Monaro bonnet. The bonnet had paint peel & with the stripper it came off easy.
    I noticed you didn't do the underside of the bonnet? Are you going to repaint it orange or are you going to use the paint stripper on the underside?

If you do it on video, you only need to show a couple of minutes of footage so everyone can understand what & why you've done underneath. Just remember mate that us viewers are in this for the long haul cos we know what you can do. I restored a Holden HJ Premier Wagon for a friend of mine that took me 5 years to do. He kept coming over every week to see the progress. Even when it looked like I did nothing on the surface, a lot went on underneath. Lol it got to the point where I told my mate not to come over every week but in the end, it came out like it was from the showroom. I've always enjoyed your work on the Carnage cars & it makes me appreciate your work more.

    Nope. Been there done that strippers are a huge mess and very difficult to get it all off. They will also damage things like glass and get into mechanisms then dry up rendering them inoperative. Good old 80 grit and a DA will strip a car pretty quickly.
