syxxstring Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Like scott said read the tutorials. I definitly like the heat gun myself for factory finishes, chemicals second especially for repaints, and sanding as a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Rosenberger Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 If the Chemical stripper ins't working you're only other options are Heatgun and/or sanding. The finish you're trying to remove is most likely Polyester which is super tough and there arent many chemical strippers that will cut it. Also you could use a propane torch if you're careful.
