What is the cheapest, easiest, fastest, way to get a car down to bare metal to start doing some body work?
The words "cheapest, easiest, fastest" arent used in the same sentence when paint stripping.

cheapest-DA / chemical stripper / black biscuit discs combo
easiest/fastest - pay someone else to do it....ie media/sand blaster
I used Ospho. Works for several weeks, and it acts as a etch cause it has phosphoric acid. Strippers.......look for something with methylene chloride and methanol. If you can get one with phosphoric acid all the better. The stripper I use at work is made by Cee Bee. I cannot remember what else, like product number. If you can wait until Monday, I can get it for you. That stuf is not cheap, but it will save you a LOT of time and effort. Lay it on THICK and wait for the paint to bubble up. Don't just toss it out then, you can re-use farther down on the body again. Also sanding with 80 grit and a DA sander, no where near the mess as stripper. That is the way I did my car. Sand mostly flat areas, then stripper where I could not get the sander in. One thing for sure tho, it is NOT a fast job.After I strip it what should I use to keep it from rusting. I live in the south so rust forms almost instantly.
