I admire your enthusiasm...but is it really necessary to go back to bare metal? You can get a damn good finish using the old paintwork, sanded down, as a key then a good undercoat and topcoat.

Man, full body bare metal, that's a lot of work for something that wont be seen, but if you must, then Nitro Mors, genius stuff is a de fatting agent as well, so good if you can't stick to the atkins.
I have ordered some Caustic Soda Crystals so I will see how they go.
The reason I want to do this is that I can see at least 8 layers of paint and where it has been scraped by trees etc, it looks a real mess.
I think I have have some Nitro Mors at home as well so I can also try that.
Thanks for the advise

In the process of spraying mine up at the moment. Messy paint work isn't a problem really, just skim with filler after sanding and then work your way up the grades of paper. I've had to go back to bare metal in places because the previous owner hand painted using incompatible paint with what's going on (2k deep bronze green), I've been using nitromores, heavily cleaned off with thinners and then flat back to about 1500 before acid etch primer.

when i restored my dolomite sprint a few years back I used Irwin Face Off discs. They were brilliant at getting the paint off back to bare metal without damaging the bodywork. The one's I used fitted into a 9" grinder and stripped the whole car in no time. I had to use paint stripper in the awkward places but I would definatley recommend them

If you want to buy Nitromors then I suggest you do so fairly quickly because it will soon be unavailable in it's present form - something to do with EU regulations.
