[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1201203, member: 11896"] Didn't have enough to do on the car today so I tried out the stripper. Sprayed some on part of the old fender, the old bumper and the old hood. After 6 hrs the paint on the fender was already loosening up and I was able to scrape a small amount off of it with a scrapper with out much force at all. The hood I could not tell if it was taking the paint or the clear off but it seemed to be loosening the paint, not the fiberglass resin. Now on the bumper though the scrapper was going into the plastic on the bumper with light force and I am willing to bet by morning there will be a weak spot there. So I can do it on the fenders, maybe the hood but need to figure something out for the bumper. Might farm that out to someone with a blaster unless buying one myself to hook up to the compressor is cheaper. That seems like one of the tools I would buy from harbor freight as its nothing mechanical/electrical just mainly holds the material and shoots it out under pressure right? [/QUOTE]
