Yeah, I will second the above post on stripper. You will have to buy some quality stripper, not the crap from "Super cheap".
I sourced some in a 4 litre can from Bunnings, it did a whole Celica with some to spare. You will find most cars have only been re-painted on the outside. I use Aluminium tape to tape around the edges of panels, this lessens the chance of the stripper getting into unwanted places. When stripping is complete, remove the tape, and sand to the edges. Very Happy

I came across a car which someone had tried to strip, obviously without any forethought. Chrome strips and trim pieces were still on the car! Stripper had run inside the doors, under the bootlid etc. What a bloody disaster. Shocked



regards Chuck.
