Stripping Stuff

Restoring 73 Riviera Camper. I thought I would document it.


I have stripped the interior and removed the engine, transmission, most of the electrical, doors and windows. Getting ready to send to the media blaster. I'm trying to get as much paint off as possible to save a few bucks.


Lots of old foam insulation that I had to tear out. 4" Window Scraper was very useful. Get lots of extra razors.


Stripping paint with JASCO. It is nasty stuff. Make sure to have lots of ventilation in the work area. Take frequent brakes away from the work area. Use skin and eye protection. Do small sections in a sitting. JASCO main ingredient is Methylene Chloride. Goolge it before you use it!
That said it works great for removing paint. Along with a Window Scraper Razor it makes for short work of paint.

Same corner panels after Jasco and window scraper.



Basic safety equipment. Do not use respirator while applying Jasco. Do use respirator while scraping. The respirator does not protect against gases such as carbon monoxide and methylene chloride both off gas of Jasco. Tends to give false sense of security.



Tools for stripping paint. Including Jasco, window scraper, extra razors. 



One tool not shown here is a medium paint brush. Use a cheap paint brush to glob Jasco on in copious quantities. Lay it on thick. The goof off is for removing glue and trim adhesive.
