Re: [Healeys] paint stripper

Remember, it is the paint you are removing so the aluminum stripper 
will work on the painted steel.
A few other points:

Most body shops will skim coat the entire car so small scratches are 
not a problem at all, in fact if bondo is being used to fill in small 
dings they usually leave a rougher finish to help with adhesion. If 
the aluminum or steel is being straightened using traditional hammer 
and dolly techniques it can be very rough because of the filing that 
is done to find low and high spots in the process. Metal scrapers are 
fine, just use them carefully.
Don't use a steel brush on the aluminum. I am told it can leave 
embedded fragments in the aluminum that will rust. Always use a brash 
wire brush on the aluminum.
