after a full 2 cans of stripper I've finished half the bumper. Apparantly this JG bumper was on a red truck before it was on a silver birch truck so I have had to strip most areas twice to get down to the plastic:

Was that 2 more cans or a total of 2?

Moregrip - That is looking great! The stripper no matter how labor intensive is so much better then sandpaper. If you were sanding it you would really be laboring and the plastic would be scared. The paint that was on it had to all come off. Tell me when and if you want to talk with my friend about the paint. Great job once again.

I'll let you know when I get closer to paint ready, after the paint is stripped I will have to make all the repairs. One thing for sure, this ain't cheap to fix.

update: I'm done until monday, need 2 more cans
The good thing is I was able to finish getting all the paint out of the nooks and crannys and hard to reach areas; the rest of the bumper should go rather fast now
here are some pics after 3 full cans of the bumper stripper, it was raining here today so thats why its wet
