my 40 is in the process of getting painted. the front chrome strip with the gmc inscription was partially painted. i told the painter i wanted to remove the paint and he said he doesent do stripping. i took the piece home with me and i went to work. i now know why he doesnt mess with that stuff. what a pain in the gear box that turned out to be not to mention the mess i had. the stripper does'nt remove paint like it does on wood. sad part is there's some blemishes on the part that was painted so it will get repainted. unless its a special piece i want to have redone ill never use stripper again.
