How to gently remove a color change

The red looks like primer to me. If you use any type of solvent it will soak into layers of paint or primer below it. That's not good.

It looks like primer to some in person but it's the original vermillion red.

There is no way you’re going to strip the blue and not remove the paint underneath even sanding your going to have sand through in places

I successfully removed all the body color from the underside of the hood and hinges on this 61 Chevy. Was it because the repaint was a different type than the original? Forgive me but I never attempted to learn all the chemical wizardy. I don't have the patience for body and paint work.

Not knowing what you used on the hood it’s hard to say why it took the color off and left the black but more than likely the black was OEM and more resistant to the chemicals you used

I used the aircraft stripper on the hood. I was hoping that the original red paint on the truck would also be more resistant than the blue, as was the case on the Bel Air. However, this is not the case. I'm searching for a product that would break down the blue but not the red, as was the case on the turquoise and black on the car hood.
