Aircraft Grade Paint Remover

[tabouli]

This is a product that was suggested to me for removing paint from some body pieces I wanted re-done. The people I spoke with said it would work really well, so I found a source for it and came here to ask questions for anyone who has used it before.

Is it safe to use on metal and bumper plastic? Or will it harm the plastic?
Are there any stores that stock it? Or does it have to be ordered?
What are some useful tips that can be suggested while working with it?

Cheers

I used it to strip my valve cover a while ago. Its easy to use and works pretty quick.

Apply to metal painted items only , allow it to sit for about 30 minuts , clean off and reapply .. till the paint is all bubbled off

NAPA/CMAX carries it. Don't use it on plastic it will ruin it.

Do it in a well ventilated area. If you get it on yourself wash it off with water RIGHT AWAY. Wear safety goggles and thick rubber gloves (latex/nitrile gloves are not enough)

If you're doing it on iron you'll want to get a metal cleaner and a metal conditioner (phosphate) as well. Once you're done stripping you have to wash the part in water or their product (I always use water). Water of course will make it rust so you will use the metal cleaner afterwards to scrub off the surface rust and then the conditioner to re-apply the protective phosphate so the metal won't rust again. Some companies have both products in one I believe. I believe you'll always have to re-apply the phosphate anyways because it gets stripped.
