Ok, how does this stuff take off the paint over paint but not the orginal paint? |
| Grauwulf:
It's pretty mild as paint strippers go, so basicly you're taking off one layer of paint at a time. I've been using a bio-degradable stripper on an old ceadar chest that was left in the house I bought, it's slow, there's about 6 layers of paint on it, but I know the stripper won't damage the wood underneath. |

If I remember correctly, the original was oil based which the stripper doesn't remove real well and the operators painted over it with latex paint which is removed much easier. I'm probably way off, but that's what somebody told me. |

Well, Atari cabinets aren't even painted, they are covered in silk-screened vinyl, thus the paint stripper doesn't really strip the sideart, although it can start taking off the black. |

oh right, this is Atari,. argh, I wasn't thinking. I was thinking pacman from that other post. Pacman is stencilled on. |
