You are correct on the stripper we only use it when completely nessisary then we use Mel to solvent wipe everything down. But this prosses is nasty

Looks Like it turned out great. I didn't want to use stripper as I have Exposed Fiber glass and thought it would get into it and Not let New adhere ?
But I thought about it on the good surface sections .

Just an FYI for anyone doing a Rebuild or upgrade.
I stripped the Lair after Lair of Paint off my FiberGlass body with a Very Cheap media !
First I have a Speed Blaster hand held gun that has a Hopper on top. Filled it with BAKING SODA I got at WallMart.
You will need a Dryer cartridge on the air input as any Moisture will give you a Pain ! I had to also back the Nozzle tip retaining off a turn or two to give the chamber a little more room to mix.
I will tell you first hand this WORKS GREAT !!
Didn't eat into the Fiber Glass Unless I worked at it .
Did a nice job on my steel and aluminum parts also ! The nice deal is It cleans up Very easy and you don't need a hood to cover your self as I doesn't beat you like sand.
And IT IS CHEAP !!!
Just thought I would pass this along.
In the Pic you can see the Hack Patch job done with Body filler and Chicken wire on the right. On the left is after I blew the same deal out with Banking soda.
