These are all good suggestions, however after trying everything, I found that painting a water soluable paint remover on with a brush, where I wanted it, and waiting about 10 minutes I presure washed the paint off without any problems. My work was done on a 1945 Famall A that had many coats of paint including an orginal coat of government green. I primed the iron with a galvanizing primer and then applied an epoxy primer prior to the finish coat of red. The finish product is exceptional and I did not have to deal with the mess or sandblasting. Good Luck.

Go to the dollar store and get the cheapest Oven cleaner they have. Make sure you use this where a mess is ok, because it runs everywhere. After you have given it a good shot of oven cleaner, power wash. It will take the paint off down to bare metal.

Apply the stripper with an old spray gun. I do it out doors when the wind is sleeping. If you try this on a car mask the seams and sand them as stripper has a way of coming back to haunt you after the new paint is on.

Gibby, If its your sheet metal, lay down some news paper or plastic and get some latex gloves. Go to a automotive paint store and tell them you want aircraft stripper.Make sure you use it where it is well vented. It will make you sick smelling it if your closed up in a building. Let the stripper sit on the paint about 20 minutes then use a scraper to remove the paint.

A plain old hardware store paint scraper works pretty good, gets it to where you can use the oven cleaner method with better results. A knotted wire wheel in an angle grinder works pretty good also. A lot of chemical strippers will only take one layer at a time, so it's best to do some mechanical removal first and use the chemicals for the final cleanup.

Haven't tried it myself, but a fellow on the Cub Forum claims that Easy-Off oven cleaner works quite well.
