I tried to strip the paint off of two hoods. I used Captain Lees stripper (methylene chloride gel) as directed. On one hood the paint turned into a semi liquid paste that was about as easy to remove as Liquid Nails. You could move it around but you could not separate this goo from the surrounding goo. I had my best success spraying in with a hose. On the other hood the paint bubbled up but it was like scraping bubble gum off.
I have officially thrown in the towel. Next step will be looking for someone to media blast these hoods.
