So after that it was a very tedious paint stripping. I had to get the house paint off without damaging the old school paint.

This was what the paint looked like when I first brought it home. This was with alot of the front stripped already. Youve seen the after. Luckily it was only the sides and the hood.





If you find a truck covered in house paint it may be a really cool patina under that crusty coat.FYI
Home Depot stocks a very strong graffiti remover that might work well in that situation.
