Any good strippers out there?

Paint stripppers that is.  Get your mind out of the gutter!   

I need to strip the engine bay which was spray bombed black right over the original paint.  The car is in my garage so I don't have the option to blast it.  I don't mind reapplying several coats of stripper, I just want to get the one that works best.  I also need to do the top of the k frame, the heater fan, wiper motor...yeah  they painted all of it.   

I have some welding to do and there's a few dings here and there.  Advice on a good filler and a high solid primer is welcome.  I've been out of the auto body business for ten years now and have no clue what's good anymore.

Strippers leave a residue behind you may not want to deal with. Will the engine be in or out? Degreaser with soap and water after worked for me but my motor was out. Have fun. There are good strippers out there. Just messy.

The engine will be out, as will everything else.  The seams will be taped, and residue will be neutralized.  The final step will be sanding and priming.

Strypeeze, it worked for me, takes it right down to the metal. Came from Lowes.   http://www.truevalue.com/product/Biodegradable-Paint-Remover-1-Qt-/9162.uts

Tal Strip II Aircraft stripper. The stuff in the spray can is the easiest to use. It strips just about anything but polyester (you wont find that on a car). Spray it down, let it sit a while until it isn't wet anymore and scrape. Follow up to clean up residual. Then "wash" the surface with an acetone soaked rag. FWIW, the Tal Strip will remove the factory undercoating too. In thick spots it may take a couple applications, but it softens it up with no problem.

Lowes was out of strypeeze, although their website said they had it, so I got some aircraft stripper.  That stuff really works!  The black paint that covered every inch of the engine bay came off right away, you could literally remove it with compressed air so I only used a thin coat of stripper.  The stock paint and primer needed a bit more but was still easy to remove.  I just went over a few parts with a scraper followed by a steel wire brush on a drill.  It was actually fun but now I have to stop and remove some more things first.

"Tal Strip II Aircraft stripper"  The best stuff out there.  Beware, it  burns bad on any exposed skin and the fumes will kill you.

Very true!  Many don't know this but you can get some serious burns from these strippers.  That's burns, not an itch...different kind of stripper there...
