removing black paint from vc
aircraft stripper/remover , available at auto part stores, spray it on let it soak for what ever amount of time the can says, and the stuff will melt right off, rinse and repaet if needed, also get the stuff in the spray can it seems to stronger than the stuff that comes in non spray form

^^the gooey stuff is good, just spread it with a brush it will eat it all away, i used a wire brush to to get into the corners
just spray it very clean before applying your new paint
i didnt get it well enough the first time and it ended up looking real bad

I remember this passed summer I was doing work on a car to remove paint and was using that stuff. It was hot and I was sweating so the little bit of wind was blowing the overspary right at me and I'll tell ya what, that sh*t burns, lol

You first scrape it off with a plaster spreader or something. Then you wash it off with a hose. Make sure you get all the stuff that went inside the VC. Get some brake cleaner and wash the VC inside and out with brake cleaner after you get it with a hose.
I wanted all the brake cleaner gone quickly from the inside of the VC, so I lit it with a propane torch...
Don't light your garage on fire like I almost did. Do it far away from stuff that can burn.
After that, let it dry out in the sun. If you're feeling like all the brake cleaner is gone, you can put the VC in the oven at around 150 degrees to dry. The paint will stick better when the VC is warmed to that temp also (if it's cooler outside).
First you do this.
