Could someone post a picture of the scraper that you use. I bought the Lisle razor blade scraper but it doen't do it for me. I break a lot of blades and generally have bad luck. I may be too cautious at the temperature.
I use the Lisle and have not had any problems. Buy a 100+ box of blades, change them often, keep the blade at a very shallow angle ( darn near dragging your knuckles on the paint) and you should do just fine. Don't heat the paint till it smokes, but if you see small blisters you are there.btceng;16313 said:Could someone post a picture of the scraper that you use.

I have a 69 Firebird that I'll start soon and it must have 4 or 5 coats of who knows what on it. There's a red coat about two deep that is crackled up and looks like some kind of old lacquer. I would love to get through that stuff without the disc. The paint on that thing clogs the paper almost immediately. Top layer is rattle can primer. Maybe lucky for me that most of the sheetmetal needs replacing. LOL
