Paint Stripping/Metal Prep

[Brian O']

 no it will not,if the car is galvanized stripper is the best way to do it, them you finish up the metal with a 150-220 grit paper, to remove any stripper residue or paint that didnt come off. sanding the metal will remove the galvanizing, you will see the metal color change while sanding, that is the layer of protection that you would be removing. then after your all done, cover the metal with a good 2 part metal etch primer, they do make it in cans, but if your going through all this.......... then prime with a good 2k primer, all paint companys have it. but if your hood had rust under the paint i dont think it would have been galvanized.

When it comes to surface preparation I'm thinking about using aircraft paint remover to get down to the metal and then using metal cleaner to neutralize any oxidation I may run into.  I decided on the "down-to-the-metal" approach after removing the hood a while ago on my spare 4ksq and using  220-grit to scuff up the surface prior to painting it.  I began to notice what appeared to be tiny (initially) rust "stains" in numerous places.  Of course, more sanding led to more sanding and these stains, not surprisingly,  turned out to be from tiny rust spots on the metal.  Had I not continued to sand, I would simply have painted over the rust.  No surprises next time.  After this long-winded preface, I need to know if using paint stripper will also remove any anti-corrosion protection that the volks at Audi would have put in place?TIA.
