[QUOTE="DanOStarcraft, post: 514932, member: 35670"] Well, after picking up this orphan, or rather, after it followed me home a few weeks ago I knew the first thing was going to be to get that paint off. The color, design, and quality of the job wasn't doing it for me. There were runs and globs and stuff, and I prefer tinnies to be natural. I may paint the deck but the sides, I doubt it. So, the challenge was to get 65 years of paint off this 1959 Starcraft Constellation. So far I've found at least four colors. I knew it would be a lot of work, but ugh, yeah, a lot of grungy gloppy work and slow. I started with using the Citristrip stuff. I may try another stripper as this is going to take a long time. To get to this point has probably been around three hours. I've read some of the threads on how others have handled it. But I'm always open to new suggestions. [/QUOTE]
