Re: Removing Engine Paint for New Paint
Well, lets see, I work as a aircraft corrosion control supervisor. ie: paint stripping.
The best stuff is called "plane naked" it is eco-friendly and my #1 pick...if you can get it. The warmer the working temp and higher the humidity the better.
#2 would be "phenol", very harsh, very very eco-unfriendly, this shit will burn the hell out of you if you do not wear proper protection, makes a mess, but gets the job done quickly. Use lots of rags and lots of water, only use a water hose once you get 99% of the chemical wiped off. Cover yourself from head to toe. And don't splash it on anything you don't want stripped, stained or melted.
As for me...I used a good eco-friendly degreaser and a power washer, repeated several times, let fully dry, mask and paint.
