I did use a respirator but it filled my apartment with fumes that I ended up breathing in afterward and made me feel quite ill for several hours. That was the first and last time I really used acetone. Could have been worse though. At least I was using a respirator while I was actually working...
Wish i would have had this stuff the time I used acetone to strip the chome off of two sets of Savage wheels so i could dye them. Ill never do that with acetone again. 🤢🤢🤢
If it were me, Id scrub the existing paint off using Dot3 brake fluid and once i had the body cleaned up Id use blue painters tape and an xtaco knife to make my own window masks.
Actually its a combination or soaking and scrubbing with a brillo pad, steel wool etc. Its alot of work but you can...
