Many years ago, about the mid '80's, I used KWIK Marine brand remover on my '67. No issues! Dennis

Since the EPA is in the process of banning methylene chloride products for non-commercial use --better hurry on this...

Anyone know approx how much Klean-Strip aircraft paint remover is needed to strip a Corvette (I realize it will vary, but a ballpark in gallons would be nice to know if I wanted to order in advance in case it becomes outlawed)

Regardless of the brand, I think 2 gal. would do it. I can't accurately remember, but I suspect I bought 2 gal. for my conv. Along with it I worked the stripping with lacquer thinner. Dennis
