Paint Stripper

Where is the best place to buy aircraft stripper? I want to repaint my hood, but not spend all day sanding it.
Thanks

Your local auto parts store, they carry a product called "aircraft paint stripper", it is in a spray can usually. For your application, I would go to a home center like Home Depot or Lowe's, it comes in a quart container that you brush on.
It's also water based so you clean up with water and not as bad a smell either.

Thanks alot John, I can't wait to get this new hood painted, my old one is all scratched up from where the last owner used a dirty rag to wash it, and it had dust and other crap on it! @%@#^#@

just make sure you get some thick rubber gloves too, that stuff isn't fun to get on your skin. Also, do it in a well ventilated area, away from your car. Sometimes just the fumes can cause your paint to peel.

Wow, sounds like something that could be used in chemical warfare! I better be careful, I have a tendency to spill things!
