1200bandit Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I use a heat gun and scrapes,which worked very well But it depends how thick the paint is ,but give it a go as it’s a lot cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looks like it would still take a while and if I am honest a cheap angle grinder and wire wheel will be just as good for fraction of the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to use this stuff to remove a thick adhesive from the undercarriage attachment lugs on Jaguar Aircraft. Very efficient and as you say very toxic and damaging to skin. We had to keep applying it every 15 - 30 mins to soften it up but nothing else would come anywhere near it. The aircraft painter CO tried to stop us using it, trying to use COSHH as a reason, but when we told him we need two of his staff on evenings to apply the paint stripper he backed down and allowed us to carry on. We then had to use MEK to clean the area, so PPE was essential otherwise you would be high as a kite with a massive headache 30 mins later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEPETE Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The tool I mention above is very quick due to wide drum, have a look at the numerous you tube vids...I find wire brushes scratch the surface too much on body panels, but fine for heavier suspension componenets.....

Mickfrad Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I use abrasive discs in a angle grinder for removing paint. A bit messy but removes the paint easily enough without damaging the metal too much. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F133065330796 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent A Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 I've been trying a little bit with something called nitromors. I sand the paint mat with sandpaper and lay a layer of 2-3mm nitromors. Wrap it in plastic and leave it to work for the next day. It seems to work just fine.
