We are going to strip and repaint our tractor ,we are going to sandblast the sheet metal but i do not want to sandblast the tractor frame.do they make a liquid stripper that can be sprayed or brushed on that will take off old paint?

About any commercial paint stripper will work -- even that sold by Walmart. The so-called "aircraft stripper" may be better. It may take more than one application. Get one that has a thick paste, not the thin runny stuff. You still have to sand the sheet metal when you are done. I don't know that you will get much warpage with the typical homeowner sandblaster -- commercial, that's another issue. Just be careful and pay attention to what you are doing.

If I were going to sandblast anything I would choose the frame and not the sheet metal.Sandblasting can warp sheet metal.But I don't like the result of sandblasting anyway.It destroys too much metal to suit me. About any commercial paint remover will do a good job of better still use the lye gravy method.Its a mixture of lye and corn starch and is a lot cheaper the paint stripper.Paint it on and power wash the old crud and paint off.Sorry,I have misplaces the website that gives the directions for the lye gravy.

Have any of you ever heard of using ground cinders to blast with? Does it work?
