If you want to strip the paint I would reccomd using a high quality aircraft paint stripper A plane is usually painted with Imron paint which is chip resistant and very tough. Alan The Stable.

Hi all,
Question regarding painting the channel under front hood where the rubber weatherstrip lays in. The whole channel gets painted body color but at the inner lip of channel does the paint go over on into the underside or is this area painted black? Hopefully you can understand my question.
Hard to tell looking at Willhoit's restoration photos. Seems to me the paint would just terminate when the whole channel space is painted.
Thanks,
Steve

Hey again,
Forgot to ask about gas tank removal for paint. Is this not the way to go? Do some people leave tank in place and masking protects from over spray?
That's part of my above question. If body color paint goes over the edge down from channel the rubber gasket sits in under hood then yes tank needs to come out. If not, perhaps the tank can stay in place right?
Thanks,
Steve
