I've used it on all my steel cars and plan on using it on the Vette in a few months. They say its not a problem.

Here's something I found re: Captain Lee's http://www.autobodystore.com/forum/s...540&page=2 You can find more forum comments by Googling Captain Lee's. Some said it was great but this guy didn't like it.

FWIW I used a chemical stripper that was neutralized by water. It was a jell and took the factory paint off down to the factory primer and stopped there. Did it in drive w/ rubber gloves (stuff burns skin) & safety glasses. Most strippers use methylene chloride which is a pretty potent solvent. Used a plastic putty knife to scrape it off. While it's nasty, you don't wind up w/ all the dust that sanding produces. I've heard that soda blasting is a safe way.

Best bet have it blasted with baking soda.
Approx cost $750 takes 4 hours and that's it.
