Default Re: Removing Engine Paint for New Paint

My preferance would be mechanical methods. I just dont like dealing with harsh chemicals, and the mess to clean up. I have had great results by using air tools driving different types of wire wheels. You can get right down to bare cast iron rather easilly. What ever remains of prior paint, if any, will be well adheared and never be an issue. It also gives you the freedom of walking away from the task, to resume at your convenience without another cleanup.
