with the VOC restrictions you should check to see what products are available. If your friend in in the business he may be able get products they don't sell to regular joes like us..

VOC isnt a big deal here in pa. for the most part you can paint whatever you want. if i was in CA or CAN that would be a different story...

I just noticed something. "regular joes"...I wasn't using your name in vain..

My GN is lacquer and needs paint it sucks you have to strip it to bare metal.

I used aircraft stripper and it didn't take too long to strip it right down...

That looks like a mess, but to be working with bare metal it is worth it....what brand did you use? How was that on the bumper covers?

I used "Aircraft Paint Remover" with a little logo at the top left saying "Klean-Strip." It came in a mostly blue can with red on one side.
The stuff worked great but it had quite the smell to it. The fumes were strong. I used my painter's mask when I applied the stuff. I used rubber gloves as a precaution but that stuff will eat through them before you know you even got it on your hand.

That sounds like an idea. I've used Klean strip before. Now I gotta talk my dad into it.
