Stripping the paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

There is a gigantic gray area when you talk about stripping a car or truck.

Does it need to be stripped? Or can only the local areas with damage be stripped?

If it does need to be stripped, what do your time and space allow for?

These are HUGELY important questions.

Stripping a complete car or truck results in a SERIOUSLY OVERWHELMING project in front of you. So you best be ready big time for a project that you can't walk away from for weeks at the very least, at the very least. It's a BIG job.

Now, stripping sections at a time and getting them back into primer, that's a reasonable plan if you ARE going to strip it completely.

So lets talk about your project, give us a little more info.
