Yes, I took my TR6 down to bare metal. I used 2 gallons of Aircraft
strength stripper. My job was particularly difficult because the car had
been painted three times, once with lacquer, which goes slimy, and twice
with enamel.Enamel comes off very nicely. Took me about 40 hours of
work, but it depends on how many coats you need to get off.
