Rich, it sounds like the same stripper I used. I used a pressure pot type gun to spray my stripper on. I just stood back and squired my stripper on too. I didnt think about going to Boeing to get the paint. Might have saved about a thousand dollars. But I still got a good job and it stuck on really well. I started spraying with a HVLP gun, but ended up with my hi pressure gun for the best results.
