Suggestions for stripping urethane bumpers?
So I've started chem-stripping my '81 after I discovered upwards of 6! (I'm not lying here :mad ), six coats of paint. But I'm not really sure how to tackle the urethane bumpers without damaging. I know that the stipper will most likely turn them both into puddles of glue, but at the same time, trying to sand through 6+ coats of paint by hand ain't gonna happen, and using the DA to do it would probably do nearly as much damage as the stipper would. Anyone have any suggestions?

Go to NAPA or other parts store, and get a couple of cans of Bulldog Flexible Bumper Paint Stripper. http://www.kleanstripauto.com, Made especially for urethane bumpers. Do not use paint stripper, or you will kiss your bumper goodbye. I did my original equipment bumpers with this stripper and it worked out fine. No damage to the material.
