paint all messed up help!

I have a 32 ford and the paint is Terrible. How can I strip it off and restart the paint job

Mark...get you a tupperware tub for the long brick style cheese and put brake fluid in it just enough to cover the body...wait overnight(sometimes longer. Once the paint is starting to come off GENTLY rub with the bristles of an old or new tooth brush you will never use again for yourself...be careful here...it may take awhile a little at a time so you do not break anything(chrome parts are a no no here). Repeat as necessary...once cleaned of all paint wash with warm water rubbing it down with lotion free soap...let air dry.

Mark...if the paint is fairly fresh it might come off quicker and easier...just have patients with it and it will work...its just not for resins or chromed parts.

Simple Green works very well too, and is far less caustic, process is the same, soak it for a few days, depending on how frsh the paint is. You may have to scrub a little with a brush. You can use Simple Green on chrome too, plus it will not hurt plastic, I have had parts soaking for months, no ill effects.

Depending on the paint, Brake fluid may not cut it. I had a lacquer painted Jaguar that I ended up using 91% alcohol on to strip. It took it down to the bare plastic, though.
