Paint removal - my low$ method

So a buddy of mine and I were working on his old ratty vw. He had a replacement junkyard hood he wanted to put on that was straight but the paint was flaking and nasty, so paint stripping time. Instead of abrasive or projectile methods we used Dawn Power Dissolver. The stuff for your pots and pans to remove the "cooking grime". Wal-trash (walmart) has it at under $5 a bottle and one bottle did the whole exterior of the hood.

What you do is

1) spray the hood down thoroughly
2) cover it in saran wrap
3) let it sit for 24 hours
4) remove wrap
5) wipe away the paint which just falls off.
(you may need to scotchbrite any tough spots or reapply)

but this stuff just eats away paint, is not toxic to touch or has toxic vapor

Pics coming. he took some and hasnt emailed them to me yet.
