Where ya at, man. I'm wanna see those pics, what prep is needed, and which stripper you used.

 

I used that aircraft remover stuff on mine. No prep needed.

Just need a warm day and a couple of hours of free time.

holy tabarnacle, exactly as hilarious said haha. your going to look for any semi-gel type canned paint stripper

(talstrip, lepage polystrip, general) warm day, pour it on and move it around like spackle or shit with a paintbrush. you can cover it or wrape it up in a tarp to keep it moist (the stripper will dry out in sunlight, or a slight breeze) after id say 10 minutes,flip it over and spackle some of the dripped off stuff on the other side, touch up around the sides. wrap. 10 minutes later, varsol is great for washing off the shit at this point (you can also use your garden hose be careful with the pressure). use a basin and pour it all over. this is to remove allllllll of that loose paint and the chemical. follow up to the varsol wash with blowing it out BE CAREFUL WITH COMPRESSED AIR!!!!!!! wash again with water from your garden hose. send to keil for

polishing! *also remember to remove the rubber dampers because varsol and strip will eat them. definitley to remember to flush out the rad with clean cold water as well. very thoroughly!

 

 

all of this can be done for about $30 worth of proper materials (at least a liter of stripper and 4l can on clean varsol) and about an hour of your time with great results. i definitley suggest using some sort of basin to work in, a tarp will do fine to cover the basin, wrap a bugee around it to seal it!

I stripped mine last night, it turned out great. I used the brush-on aircraft stripper and let it sit about 15 min, then pressure washed. Then I used the aircraft stripper in the aerosol can to get all the tight spots.

some reason I cant upload the pic from the front to show it, but here's one from the side.

Different uh...strokes for different folks I guess.
