Engine bay paint removal
I'm getting ready to remove the paint under the hood of my 87 iroc so i can repaint it after I put in motor plates and schtuff....Any ideas of hints and tips? I know the ol' sand it till ya die route but that sure is gonna be a pain in the nuts...any paint strippers out there actually work? Thanks in advance for any info.

Blueiroc, youre painting the bottome of the hood itself? If so if its not chiped and you just want to make the paint stick try using a 3M scothbrite scuff pad. It's a little easier in tight spots.

No actually I need to repaint the whole engine bay before I weld the mounts for the motor plates and other crap but it's a pain to sand it all by hand....I will if I have to but would rather find some sort of paint stripper etc....

Use Air Craft Stripper obtained at a hardware store/car stopre/ Wal-Mart. 
You can apply it with a paint brush, as not to hit things you dont want to strip. Also, be carefull not to get it on any wires/plastic parts. When your done, you can hose it all off, wipe it down, clean it using what ever you want, and youll be good to go!
Good Luck!
