Jack - I am leary of this type of paint stripping because the chemicals can get trapped in all the lapped panels present on our 58 Plymouths. It would be ugly if we paid an excessive amount for a paint job, only to see it bubbling up by the seams as the chemicals find their way out. I feel that dry stripping (plastic media, baking soda or old fashioned sanding) is the way to go.
