I want to take my 100 coats of spray paint off and then the base yellow coat. I am going to be spraying my first car and I want to get it as nice as possible. I want to go down to metal and just prime it, then in a few weeks paint. Any tips would be apprishiated.
Thanks

Airline paint stripper. Spread it on, let it sit a few min, scoop it up. Don't leave it bare or it will oxidize in short order.

No I'd be spray bombing with primmer. But that aircraft stuff works good?? I've heard good things about it. Does it leave a huge mess with the stripped paint, does it harm rubber or molding or anything like that?
Thanks

They still have it they sell it at autozone. Is it a mess to clean up though?

Yes it can be messy and yes you need to take precautions for yourself and certain parts of the car, likes plastics or moldings. Wear gloves and make sure you have plenty of ventilation. It works extremly well!
