Removing stubborn paint?

[Patrick2005]

I am working on the 99 F150 Lightning and the bed didn't come out right, its all blatchy and nasty. So I soaked in in the purple stuff for about 3 days and it did very little, the paint didn't want to come off. I had previously used the same liquid to remove paint on a couple other cars, is that my problem?

Purple stuff won't touch lacquers. So if you used Testors one coat or tamiya or auto paints, you'll need some 91% rubbing alcohol.

Adjacent to my vat of purple stuff, I have a similar container of Scalecoat II; that's my backup plan if the first one doesn't do it.

I agree with Rob, however, for lacquers you would be hard pressed to beat the 91% isopropyl.

I used Rust-oleum So I need alcohol?

Not just any alcohol,Patrick, NINETY ONE per cent. It's usually next to the 70 % rubbing alcohol at CVS or Walgreens.

Scalecoat is some good stuff! kinda even etches the body. still need to lightly sand though.
