Help w/ striping paint all the way to the metal (pic of bad paint). The hood on my DD Saturn looks like crap. Wanna remove the paint down to the metal, prep it, than just black primer the hood.
What are my options on removing the paint? Thanks.

I would pull that hood off and use air craft stripper. Your probably still gonna have to sand in some spots, but it will definitely speed up the process for you and its actually less messy than trying to DA all that crap off.

Like mentioned above, aircraft stripper will pretty much take paint off any metal. I've used in the past on steel and aluminum wheels. Make sure you don't get it on anything plastic - it will literally melt it.

Hi,good media blasting followed by a good cleaning/primer and paint. Option #2
aircraft stripper/sanding/cleaning/primer and paint. The second saves money but requires alot of effort on your part. Just weigh the total cost both ways..good luck and have a blessed week........jim
