I'm about ready to put the engine back in my 55 project truck. The frame is painted and looks spiffy..I bought some black engine paint but need to strip the old paint. The engine was painted with some rattle can engine paint.

I bought some "orange" based stripper and unfortunately it just softens the paint making it a gooey mess. I may have to resort to using a sovent and a ton of paper towels to get it off. I'm used to having the paint wrinkle up and lifting when I use a stripper which makes the job eazy. Anyone got a product or technique they like fo stripping an engine. It's assembled and running so media blasting or hot tanking is out.

Thanks,

Keith
