Has anyone used NAPA's 6802 paint stripper???? What is a good way to apply it??? how long do you let it on before you remove it??? Any good recommendations for a good paint stripper?? It would be nice to knock down the rust at the same time?? Thanks

Never tried the Napa stuff, but got some pretty good stuff that you can spray on from Home depot. The can came with a little squirt bottle and you can litterally watch it bubble the paint. I would let it sit for about 5 minutes, scrape off, occasionally scrub it, maybe add another coat (if thick paint) and then wipe it clean with some type of contaminent remover.

Buy "Aircraft stripper" at auto body suppliers. If doing a hood or doors, apply a strip of masking tape over the slot between a hood and fenders, cowl, etc. Keeps stripper out of those places. Allow a hefty application of stripper to do its work, wipe off the residue into a box or can, then hose the rest off with water. Peel off tape, and sand the edges where the tape covered them. Then prepare the part for refinishing. Works great and is not expensive.

Rusty, I bought some of the aircraft stripper and put it in the bed of my elcamino after 15 minutes it was just the same as when I put it on. Then I moved the car out of the garage into the sun light, with in 30 seconds that stuff was bubbling and you could see the paint coming up. Yes it is good stuff but do not use in an enclosed area without GOOD ventilation. It works great outside in the sun.

Like they said use an old paint brush and apply a good heavy coat. This is how I do it may not be right but works good. I let it sit untill the paint bubbles good and I hit it with a High pressure washer with 300 degree water. Peels it right off you DO need to take precautions it will burn your skin very quickly.
Just my 2 cents

The NAPA stuff won't work any better than the Aircraft stripper you can buy at most autobody paint suppply stores, and at about half the price.

Like CNKS says, nasty stuff, but works pretty good if you don't rush it. Use a cheapo 3" - 4" paint brush and brush a thick layer in one direction only, let it sit until all the paint bubbles and crinkles up, then use an old putty knife to scoop the goo off the panel. I like to save small boxes to scoop the goo into when I'm stripping a panel, then let it dry completely before tossing into the garbage can. Rinse the stripped panel completely with water and scrub it with a piece of maroon scotchbrite until it is thoroughly clean. Blow dry with clean, oil free compressed air. If you don't have that, then use a heat gun or hair dryer.

Be sure to observe all the warnings and cautions when using paint stripper, it will burn any part of your body it gets onto or into. Chemical resistant gloves and chemical splash proof goggles are a must. I never use it unless I've got running water immediately on hand.

How long?--trial and error. I am somewhat impatient and usually use it more than once. As to brand, just get methylene chloride, (concentrations probably differ between brands) and wear a mask when using, pretty bad stuff otherwise. Apply with a paint brush you don't want to keep. Some are thin and runny and don't do a good a job. You have to get all of it off or it will lift the new paint. Oven cleaner sort of works, but is not as efficient as methylene chloride. No stripper that I know of will remove or neutralize rust.
