Do not use brake fluid to strip the paint. There are lots of paint stripping chemicals you can use to strip the paint off. But be warned that if you do strip the paint, it is going to take some work to get the Stainless panels back to their original grain. Also you may find some "bondo" fixes under that paint. If you want info on how to strip the paint down and regrain the Stainless, talk to Dan (Danrc30) he has done this with great success. Check out the pictures he took after he did it in the vault. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/files/Custom%20Wheels%20and% 20Custom%20Headlights%20on%20my%20Delorean/ It's titled "Custom Wheels and Custom Headlights on my Delorean" Steve --- In dmcnews@xxxx, rpeckhoff@xxxx wrote: > I was wondering if is was possible to strip a painted delorean by > spreading break fluid across the panels.
