Hiding a multitude of sins! Spray Paint.

I don't know if I am the only guy that through the years decided it was easier to throw a coat of flat or satin black over something to dress up the engine compartment a bit, even over dirt and grime. Well as I get older and the 72 gets more valuable it is time to do it right, or at least better. So I have been working on the airbox first. After seeing a few restored, I see it is not black, it is more grey with texture like fiberglass, so I am using a product and scrapping all the old paint off while it is still in the truck.

I wanted to share with you some pretty good spray paint remover that is working quite well.

I spray it on and it softens the paint up and does not harm the plastic, or fiberglass that is under it, I use a scrapper and it peels right off, sometimes I have to use it a few times depending on how thick the coats are, but typically, spray, wait 15 min and scrape and it comes off in sheets.. Just an FYI!
