Carlin described a fart that could strip the varnish off a footlocker. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fart.gif) Serious, I think what you may be describing as the original paint is the original primer. This stuff just doesn't seem to want to come off with paint stripper.

Actually, it's the original Hemi orange paint that's not lifting.

The Jasco stuff is practically worthless. Aircraft stripper will do it. If your local hardware store doesn't have it, an automotive paint supplier will.
Thanks, I'll go get that and try it.

I thought the same thing. What I thought was Y3 paint was really primer of the same color and it just didn't come off.
A colored primer? I didn't see anything under it a different color.

I agree, if it's that hard to get off, leave it on. Gets back to the same argument when I see someone trying to remove the undercoating.

Personally, once you have used paint remover over it I would be very hesitant to paint over it as it may come up or wrinkle in the future...

I plan to take any and all precautions to remove residues. Wire brush all areas, metal clean, metal etch, laquer thinner.

On second thought I too remember factory original primers that had to be sanded off once the paint stripper stopped working... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif)
What the heck kinda primer was that? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/penguin-014.gif)

This the real deal here, Aircraft Remover, Will take everything but the Carburator. It expands with heat so be carefull when you open it. Otherwise you'll be rolling around in the grass with a water hose. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stirthepot.gif)
