What to use to remove paint?
What would you use to remove the paint off of the car. I am in the process of goin to get it painted and want to save a couple hundred dollars by removing the paint and primering it myself. Any recommendations on what I should use and where I could buy the stuff from. Like a local hardware or automotive store.

simply removing paint by chemical means is not safe. best way around to to hand sand it. Or if you don't have time, find a low speed orbital sander. For better perfection, I've always used fine grid sand papers. 800-1000 at the beginning, 1500-2000 after primed for a smooth surface.

naaaah.
Just get 15 cans of oven cleaner and hose the sucker down!
After that, just scrape the crap off. All you'll have left is metal and fiberglass.
It does stink, though.
And don't get it on clear plastic, it'll craze.
And don't inhale it. It'll burn your lungs.
And wear gloves, this stuff'll give ya chemical burns.
But who cares? It's still cheaper!
Seriously, you gotta sand it off, dude. Airplane remover works, but it ruins a lotta stuff if you're not careful.
