Paint removers can be used to strip the paint off of your machine, and in fact they can be very useful if you want to take off the paint without damaging the car. You may have to remove the part of the car that you want to strip before applying the paint, or it can become very complicated, as you will have to protect the car before you proceed. In order to get the best from a chemical strip, read the instructions carefully, and then apply the stripper in a small area before you begin to use it on the rest of the car.
