What type of stripper did you use on the paint/body?

Been using the same stuff for approx 32yrs now!
Aircraft Remover by Klean Strip. They make both spray can and quarts/gallons. I normally keep some spray around but does not work as good.
That hood was ONE application of the stripper in approx 20min time.
The key is to not move it/brush it around much. Best is to pour and let run down saving what runs off and using it again. If its brushed on very thin it will take more applications. Pour it on without brushing on a vertical surface and it will start to peel within minutes. If many layers of paint and bondo it will take a few applications.
Key is to neutralize it with soapy water (Ivory Liquid) and a scotch bright before priming etc. Once surface is stripped and clean I then use a PPG metal conditioner to scrub the metal again prior to paint/primer. The metal conditioner also keeps it from surface rusting.
