Best bet is a good chemical stripper, probably more than one application, followed by a light sanding. After you've done all that it might be a good time for some barrier coats. I've never used it but others have reported good results with a stripper called "Peel Away". I've also heard reports of people making their own stripper by mixing methylene chloride with corn starch as a thickening agent. Careful, toxic stuff. It's about $60 per bucket which does 35/40 sq ft per. Thanks Wayne - I've been looking for a way to take the bottom paint off my Ranger this winter - this is it. I was just to lazy to go looking for it. All the best, Tom -------------- "What the hell's the deal with this newsgroup... is there a computer terminal in the day room of some looney bin somewhere?"
