p.s. - how'd the plastic bags work for ya? make things go faster?

The plastic bags helped alot. Only problem is that the PO (or his body man) bondoded the dents in it and I guess that the stripper takes longer on those spots. Had to scrape and put multiple coats on those spots. I dont have it totaly clean and when I get the nerve again I will try the steel wool. But after seeing the dents I decided to just buy a new grill when I start on the rebuild.

mines pretty pitted and dented up but after i put some paint on it looked alot better, goodluck with the rest of it

I might try to clean it up some more then paint the black so it will look better until I start the build

Let sit another 10 minutes or so. Remove plastic and I will almost promise that you will have a LOT more paint let go than you do by just applying the stripper out in the open and then waiting on it to "bubble up." The stripper only works when it is still "Wet" ... so by placing the plastic over the top of it, you prevent it from drying out.

Works like a champ, give it a try. Good luck.

P.S. - I agree with BY88 ... the grass needs mowing.

no way that awsome idea i wonder if cheap plastic drop cloth will work for big areas

start collecting shopping bags and split them. It will be cheaper. Wal-mart funded mine
