Re: strip engine bay
I would take some acetone to it after, because the aircraft stripper is like etch primer in the way the it sort of embeds itself in the metal. If you don't, you may have some problems with the new primer sticking and lasting. Unless you don't mind doing this every season. But just give it a good wash/rub-down with the acetone after, and you should be in the clear. GL.
