Any pitfalls in using a cup style while stripping paint of of the grill of a 1960 GMC. It goes really great. After I strip the paint, I will wipe down with laquer thinner and acetone before priming.

On the wipe-down is aircraft prep any different (better/worse) than acetone?

Any thoughts on what to use on the wipe down, prior to priming?

I used some PPG Degreaser/Wax remover myself, got the metal squeeky clean prior to shooting primer.

Norton makes a paint-rust stripper disk that looks like swiss cheease with grit on it. They make them in diffrent grits, but those things will strip paint like you have never seen, and not burnish or grind the metal. They don't build up heat like a cup brush. Do yourself a favor, try one. I stripped a whole 55 Buick once with a cup brush, the Norton disk would have taken 1/4 the time, quieter, and cleaner, with better metal prep. Costs about 8 bucks.
