Learn from my mistake.....I was using paint stripper yesterday and a TINY amount dripped and got on my rear bumper w/out me knowing till later.It actually created a divot in the bumper! Use caution.

I agree. That's some potent stripper your using. I stripped mine by hand. Sand, sand an sand some more. Lot of work, but a lot safer. My .02

Mike,

If you're stripping the car in preparation for a new paint job, it would probably be easier to pull all of the chrome & trim first.
 
This should make it easier to work on & save a lot of stress over another oops...........
 
Good luck,
 
Anthony

Darn, I thought you were talking about HeartSTRIPPERSHeart (the soft and cuddily type) ...................not strippers, oh well either one can cause you some serious OuchproblemsOuch. The car problems can be fixed a little bit easier, then the OuchMommaOuch ones. You must observe caution with both!Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20LaughingRolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20LaughingRolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing corvette440hp2008-04-09 16:43:46

follow up to comments...It was the stripper with the airplane on the can.The bumper in question was just laying on floor while I was stripping a non corvette part.Don't use this stuff on your cars,it will get you later! Spend the money and have your old paint media blasted as I did.
