I am not a body man, or paint, but I don't understand why you would need to remove it. I can understand scuffing it before primer and paint. I have a set of 25 year old quarter panel skins for my Dart that still have the EDT coating and have zero rust from sitting.

but you should ALWAYS check each panel. If it were me I would test, and if they passed the test leave it on the interior panels, but still strip the exterior and epoxy prime.
Agreed, this has always been my approach the last few decades of doing bodywork regardless of the panels source, all exterior finishes are removed, no need to chance paint reactions down the road... Mike

I have always removed the EDP coating and here's why....I had a painter ask me if I wanted to risk my $20,000 paint job to a base coating applied by a 10 year old Taiwan boy making .60 cents a day. Let that sink in. Bingo! its just a shipping coating. if you trust your whole paint job to that foundation, go for it. what could go wrong?

He light sands it and epoxy coats it. No reason to strip it off. He never has a problem
