Default Started stripping body today

Yesterday I removed bumpers, trim & etc. Today I started with the stripper. Everyone was right, after a while you get a feel of how the stripper works. That first square foot was slow. All in all I worked 4 hours and got most of the right rear fender stripped. Tomorrow will be a full day so maybe more head way will be seen. Looks like it has the current coat of paint, sealer-primer under that which is a brown color, then it looks like the factory paint with a grey primer under that. I stopped at the grey primer coat. I can see that this process is going to be slow before sanding can begin.

Good Deal Paul,

The trick is lots of paitence and LOTS OF RINSE. I just can't stress either of those enough. You will love the look of the car when you are done though, basicly you get to start with a nice clean "canvas". Now it's time for a cool beverage and a pat on the back for taking that first step.
