Default Semi-OT Auto paint removal


Apparently there is a dip process for taking automotive painted parts
to the bare metal.

Question? Anyone know the chemicals in the dip?

Just had my Roadster front fenders dipped. Worked well; leaves the Bondo
as a dark gray, porous, leached out material that can be easily removed.
Same for lead. After the dip, the metal will rust very quickly if not
protected. I believe it is muriatic acid that is used.
