Recommended chemical stripper?

None of those, however when I had to strip the hood of the baja I went to
Wal-Mart and got the cheapest stripper they had. It worked great!I Put it in a
spray bottle and just sprayed the (removed) hood, made sure it covered the
whole thing and waited a few minutes. It bubbled and came off with a plastic
spatula super easy. Which was interesting considering there were like 4
different colors of paint that had made it onto the car over the years. Red,
purple, green and white. I dunno if I got lucky or not, but if the cheapo
works like the expensive stuff, why waste the money?

Any stripper containing methyl chloride will work, but it is naqsty stuff. Make
sure you have plenty of air and wear gloves it will chem burn your skin. Also,
use a razor blade in a holder to strip of the softened paint. Works wonders.

Nah, I don't date those.

Wish I could use the stuff at home that we use at work.
I use a stripper that comes in a 55 gal drum, used through a pressure pump
to
spray onto airplanes.
That stuff will strip aircraft paint like it was water colors.
We spray it on, then wash it off with a pressure washer, plane is free of
paint

lot of prep work before that though taping and sealing holes and plastic,
and rubber
wich the stripper would eat up quick...

Any chance the paint used on airplanes is thinner, less hardened than the
stuff used on cars? Huuummm?

So-called "aircraft stripper" is history. The real stuff was two-part mixed
with acid just before use.

My favorite is "aircraft stripper" from my FLAPS. It's a methylene
chloride based stripper so like most others use it outside so your lungs
don't fry.

Formic acid mixed with stripper. Very serious stuff.
