[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7327869, member: 150618"] Yes, I have used this to remove paint many times. It will not remove modern two component paints. I assume this old Universal has paint that will dissolve fairly easily with lye, also known as sodium hydroxide. Of course you have to thoroughly rinse the lye off, and dry without rusting before painting. I assume undercoating is what I think of as primer coat of paint? An acid on the bare metal is sometimes needed, if there are spots of rust left. All of this is crude level painting, scuff sanding the original solid paint is usually what I do if most of the paint is still solid. If you're planning a showroom finish, you need better advice than I can give. [/QUOTE]
