[QUOTE="BoyoBoyle, post: 150460, member: 2137"] to remove the paint? Well... Aircraft stripper isn't really that expensive, you can get a gallon for 30$ and that should be enough for a whole boat if you use it sparingly. I applied a decent coat on an area, would wait about 15-25 minutes and then scrape off the paint with a putty knife or wire brush and then sand down to metal. And before i sand, i apply another coat to the next area, so it can cure while i sand. I would say it can take anywhere from 6-10 solid hours. or more, depends on how much detail you sand. I got a big boat, and im removing almost every spot of paint, so it's taking me a while. but definitely get the aircraft remover! it helps a lot, it removes most of the paint, so it makes sanding much quicker. So you'll need about 30$ for stripper (get at Autozone or other autostore) and about 15$ on sandpaper.... and about 10 hours of labor. I just spend a couple hours on it everyday and it was done in a week. [/QUOTE]
