How to use paint stripper fast on a 1974 C3 Corvette with virtually no mess.

First and foremost, TEST THIS METHOD ON A SMALL PART OF CAR before continuing to see how it affects your substrate surface. My car had an EPOXY PRIMER under LACQUER paint.

I'm showing a method of using a low cost paint stripper to effectively remove a lot of paint fast. I used Menards 2Minute Paint Stripper in the video. The video shows how to use paper towels to hold extra stripper and provide a media to absorb the dissolved paint during the process. This comes with the added feature of virtually no mess on the floor. All waste is throw into a pail I keep nearby.

The car had 2 coats of sealer, 8 coats of Kosmoski Red, 4 coats of pearl and clear, 4 coats of clear. All this was on top of Kosmoski 2 part Fast Sanding Primer. It was last painted in 1992.

Using the Menards 2 Minute stripper without the paper towels did virtually nothing, as did many stripper I tried. An advantage of the 2 Minute stripper is that it has little smell and easily controlled with my 3M disposable face mask.
