Hi guys. Wondering what I should use to strip a bad paint job with. I have seen several different techniques. I want to make sure I don't damage the body. Spray primer, and testors spray enamel.

Bryan....I use brake fluid...when that does not work I use Castrol Super Clean de-greaser straight(use of gloves is a good idea its hard on the hands and never let it dry on anything)...both will remove chrome plating..carefully use a tooth brush to gently scrub the old paint off...I wash after cleaning with warm to hot soapy water let air dry.

EZ-Off oven cleaner will take off Testor's enamel, but maybe not the primer

Which is okay because you can just re-sand the primer and shoot another light coat over it to even it out
