Painted 42-PT91
#16

Started stripping process on Saturday. Tried the Pine-sol soak until last evening.  Loosened some of the newer spray paint.  Scraped all I could and let it soak until this morning.   Got up and started in again this morning (day off, today!)...about 3/4 of the paint scraped off pretty easy....down to bakelite.  The grill and tough spots have been being soaked/scraped with some old stripper I had in the garage...I've been working a couple hours and it is about 90% stripped. Still working on grill area....still not sure if I will be able to polish up or paint, but it is a bunch of work.  I do enjoy it, though.   I should have taken a few pics through the process, but didn't think about it.   When I head back out to scrape, I'll snap one.
