Re: Restoration begins in earnest

     Thanks for the comments, Biba. I got the Methylene Chloride at my PPG 
dealer. I have even seen it once on the shelves of my local hardware store. 
They call it Aircraft Stripper. It was about $28/ gallon and took about 6 qts 
to do the job. I think an unrepainted spider could be done with a gallon, 
easy. 
     Thanks for the tip on tinting the high build primer, I will do it. I 
like having colored primer incase of a stone chip. I just cannot remove the 
engine and tranny for now...... but on those cold winter nights...... thats 
when I will be glad to do it.
     I certainly appreciate your tip on cleaning with thinner before sanding, 
I have been worried about the Meth. Chloride residue, that should take care 
of it! I have used base coat clear coat successfully by sanding the base coat 
after a day or two before the clear goes on. I think the key is a very light 
first coat of clear to soften the base. You have me thinking though. I will 
confer with PPG. I will be using an opaque, non metallic paint so sanding it 
will look fine. Cant do it with pearl or metallic..... dont ask me how i 
know.
      Thanks once again for the tips!
