Re: How to reveal original paint?

if the PO just sprayed on primer or rattle can paint, you can use the original formula Easy Off oven cleaner on it. do a panel at a time, its tough to do a whole truck, but it peels new paint off old paint pretty well, I did it on a 65 that had been rattle canned black and was impressed, there were some old school graphics on one fender that said Ghost Ride but unfortunately they also counted as new paint over old paint and came off mostly with water pressure.

be sure and get the yellow can, my wife was on the way out the door so I asked her for 2 cans of the yellow can easy off, there will be a blue can for fume free and it doesnt have the right chemical that I need so ONLY GET THE YELLOW CAN. uh huh, yes, yellow can, right.

she came back with 4 blue cans of easy off. "Yes I know you said yellow but the blue cans were buy one get one free." that was 5 years ago, I bet those blue cans of Easy Off are still under the sink.
