On my Spit, I had to get rid of some rust as well as paint, so I blasted the
rusty parts and the painter I used removed the rest of the paint with a
stripper similar to what Stu describes. That stuff really works. (I know,
because he got some on the interior that I had previously painted with Enamal
on top of Epoxy primer. It ate right throuth to the bare metal)
