grill paint removal
I have a 67 grill but it was painted black - how do I safely remove the paint without hurting the metal

Aircraft stripper won't hurt the metal. It's a nasty process though.
A softer wire wheel should work too, and its what I plan on. Media blasting would be nice, but spendy.

No aluminum grille was painted from factory other than the vertical bars top and bottom.69Ford wrote:Was the grill factory painted grill or an aluminum grill painted by someone.
As was said before use aircraft stripper. Use outdoors, wear gloves and a mask, read label real good.

Re: grill paint removal
Check to see if it eats aluminum first. I don't think it should since aicraft ARE aluminum. I didn't think you were talking about an aluminum grill, since they normally aren't painted.
Anyway, any hobby shop, auto parts store, Walmart, or hardware store should have some.
