    I attempted to used aircraft stripper but ran out of patience. I ended up sanding it down by hand and with a power sander. Multiple coats of VHT primer, color, and clear.

    I personally like duplicolor. CLean it up very good and sand it. Use some primer to help adhere it and paint. It holds up good but if you get degreaser on it it doesn't last (probably because I didn't do a clear coat).

    The only dislike about VHT is that you have to heat it to bake it.

    Im going to powdercoat next.
