Steps
- 1Evaluate the parts from which you need to remove paint. If they are delicate or very expensive and you do not have many tools, it is a good idea to take the parts to a specialist for restoration.
- 2Choose your work area. It must be well ventilated, since chemical stripper is very toxic if used in a small, closed workspace. Make sure it is also in the shade, because the chemicals may evaporate too quickly in the sun.
- 3Lay plastic drop cloths around the entire work area.
- 4Remove all parts that do not need to be stripped. If you cannot move something, use a masking tape or duct tape to cover the parts very carefully. Apply masking tape to openings and seams between panels. Press down the masking tape to remove any air bubbles.
- If you are removing paint around windows, cover them with plastic sheeting and duct tape. Press down the duct tape to remove air bubbles.
- It is all right if the tape overlaps onto the paint. These areas will need to be sanded later on.
- 5Choose your paint stripper. Heavy duty or aircraft paint stripper works well. The stronger the paint stripper, the more quickly it will remove the paint and the more toxic it will be. 2 to 3 gallons (7.5 to 11.5 l) of paint stripper would be a good amount to buy for a medium sized car.
- 6Put on your dust mask. Scuff the surface of the parts with 40-grit sandpaper. This will allow the stripper to be absorbed better and work more quickly.
- 7Put on your respirator mask, rubber gloves and goggles.
- 8Pour an ample amount of paint stripper in a large open can.
- 9Apply the paint stripper to the car parts with the wide paintbrush. Work carefully to cover all areas. Do not brush back and forth. Dab on the paint stripper in thick coats in 1 direction.
- Add paint stripper until all areas look wet. You should see it begin to work. The paint appears to bubble up. Do not try to remove it right away.
- 10Leave the stripper to work and soften the paint, according to the package directions. Do not attempt to strip the paint before that time.
- 11Remove the paint with a plastic scraper. The amount that the paint softened will be uneven. In some areas, it is likely that all the paint will be removed in 1 try. In other places, you may have to repeat 2 to 3 times. Always wait the directed amount before attempting to remove the paint.
- 12Paint on a light coat of stripper after almost all the paint has been removed. Rub with a scouring pad, to remove small pieces of paint.
- 13Wipe the surface of the parts with a lacquer thinner. This will remove any dried stripper and some paint, and make the parts less likely to rust.
- 14Sand the surface of the parts with a dual action sander, using 80-grit sanding discs. Use the sander to remove paint and create a surface on which a future primer can attach.
- Remove tape and sand leftover paint with the dual action sander.
- 15Dispose of rubber gloves, plastic drop cloths and sheeting, brushes, the tin can and all other affected materials in a disposal area for toxic chemicals. You may need to call businesses in your area, and possibly pay to dispose of this waste.

Tips
- Cover the car parts with plastic sheeting after applying chemical paint stripper in order to slow down the amount the chemical stripper evaporates, allowing the paint to soften more. Be careful when removing the plastic sheeting, and dispose of it with other toxic waste.
