  • How do we get down to the surface - aluminum or
    wood? Even if you have 3 coats? 5 coats? If
    youre like me, youve used razorblades, a
    gasoline liquid detergent mixture, belt sanders,
    palm sanders, a wire brush, 3M pads and even
    angle grinders to get to the surface. But good
    luck! You cant get 5 coats off with any of those
    techniques, machines or materials. So what is the
    best aircraft paint remover? Well, there are
    several depending on what you need done, how many
    coats you have, and how environmentally friendly
    will determine what product you need to buy.
  • 1 Coat
  • Bullseye Paint Finish Remover (Rustoleum) is
    soy based and an environmental friendly spray
    that works ok with thin coats of paint. Honestly,
    its not worth the money. We are talking about an
    aircraft and we want to be perfect about this. If
    all you have is Bullseye, then go ahead and try
    it but you will be disappointed in the long run.

  • 2 Coats
  • Environmentally friendly CitrusStrip will melt
    away at least 2 to 3 coats but you have to let it
    sit for at least 20 hours and then after that you
    have to chip away at it which takes a long time.
    If there are more coats, you will definitely need
    something more industrial strength. The good
    thing about CitrusStrip is it isn't flammable and
    doesn't have any toxic fumes.
  • 3 Coats
  • Jasco Semi-Paste Multi-Surface Paint Remover or
    Jasco Premium Paint and Varnish Stripper will do
    a great job for an airplane with 2 - 3 coats of
    paint on it. Its cheap and available at any
    local hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot.
    Some people swear by Jasco. They say it can
    remove anything, but research has shown that it
    cannot cut through more than 4 coats.

  • 4 5 coats
  • Klean-Strip Aircraft Paint Stripper is the best
    out there. Its designed to peel all of the paint
    off of aluminum airplanes without harming the
    metal. This is the product you need. Its easy to
    handle, goes on very smooth with a brush, and
    strips layers off with ease by using less than
    the others above.
  • The next question is how environmentally friendly
    do you want to be? If youre worried about the
    environment, then the safest most effective stuff
    is CitrusStrip but you will have difficulty with
    more than 3 coats of paint (layers). So in
    conclusion, if you need it done right and are not
    too worried about harmful chemicals and/or have
    the facility to clean it up, go with Klean-Strip.
    If you are doing it yourself and there is a
    possibility that your efforts will spill into the
    soil or worse, get into the sewer, then go with
    CitrusStrip. You will probably need to do it a
    few times to get down to the metal/wood.
