best paint stripper

I've always used a razor blade scraper but only used the heat gun on the undercarriage to soften the undercoating. I will try using the heat gun on the paint next time.
 
after the second time of getting paint chips in my eye i started heating it. also no as big of a mess . paint will come off in strips instead of chips.
 
I'm with Shine on those paint chips, lol.

I had been taking a piece of tape and making a scattershield that overhung the blade to deflect them little buggers in some other direction. Then I read Shines heat gun method and never looked back.

The heat gun is the real deal, fast easy and not near as messy.

Buy a box of 100 blades and change them often and it wont take long at all to clean off a panel.

$8 and a killowatt hour or two and your done :)
 
I've never tried this method before, well at least using the heat gun with the razor blade. thanks Shine. last car i stripped using one of those black stripper pads on my grinder. it did a great job but what a dusty mess...

DA34GUY, or SHINE, when you did your corvette did you have any problems with the razor digging into the glass? I have to strip a vett pretty soon and would love to avoid the stripper mess.
 
if your digging in your pushing it. slow down and take your time. if you use the heat gun it comes off easy and in long strips. i use no chemstrip on glass.
