It may take a few times, (if there is multiple layers of paint, bondo, etc) but it works pretty well! Oh, and make sure you clean it off super good, you dont want any of this left behind!! OH, 1 more, WHERE protection (gloves, eyes, at hat, etc) i got some on my hand once and it starts to feel like it's eating away the skin!!!

I agree completely. I used TAL-STRIP made by mar-hyde with good results. One tip though, the tempurture needs to be at the minimum temperture required by the directions. I tried to use it when it was cold out and it hardly worked at all. Once the tempurture warmed up the stuff worked pretty good. I had to brush it on 3 time to get all the paint off. If you use a pressure washer to remove the stripper it takes most of the paint with it.
