Hi All,

I would like some help on removing paint from an old Whirlpool Hood Range.
It's a stainless steel
hood but has a black stripe that I would like to remove. What is the best
way to get rid of the black paint?
Should I use some kind of paint removal? or should I scrape out the paint?
or should I sand out the paint with
sand paper or some kind of tool like dremel tool that I have? Thanks in
advance.

Use a strong paint remover , but if hood is old the color of the steel
may be lighter at the stripped area from no oxidation, grease and dirt
have darkened the rest of it. You may actualy have to refinish the
stainless by sanding. It may not come out right and have a noticable
strip. and look uneven from sanding. The factory process was done on
automated machines. I dont know if I would do it, it depends on where
the paint strip is . If it is on say the 3" front lip it may be that
area could be blended to look equal. Unfortunatly you wont know till you
remove the paint and see

Paint remover may work.

I can say for sure that any scraping, sanding, grinding will leave
blemishes.

XYLINOL... I don't know how to spell it but it works good on metals

Putting a rag soaked in rubbing alcohol will usually soften paint. I'd
try that before I used paint remover with methylene chloride in a
kitchen.

Metal polish and elbow grease...or toothpaste and elbow grease ...

I have removed the black paint used on Satinless steel car trim
(rocker panels etc) without any problems....not real effortlessly
however...
