it can be used on the paint, but it's going to take it down to bare.

the aircraft stripper in the can is the hot bizz i use it all the time, have used it for a couple years taking off paint from valve covers and wheels, and DO NOT USE 40 grit on some shit you are gonna repaint unles you plan on priming it a few times with some REAL primer to fill in the massive scratches, if you dont use some good primer to fill the sand scratches you will see them clear as day when you done painting, you need to feather those scratches out, work you way up gradually to a higher grit paper to file down the sratches, if you do use the aircraft stripper you need to use some good shit to clean it off with, water alone will still leave some residue, you can either go to a paint shop and get some stuff called First Kleen which you wipe on and then wipe dry, or you can go to walmart and get some stuff called SURFACE PREP, which you spray and wipe on, then rinse of with water, i personally like First Kleen cause you dont have to use water afterwards. you can get away with shit like brakleen and then wiping it off with some sort of household claner but it might bublle or flake off easier and for cars i use regular finish stripper, its a brush on material that will do the same thing as aircraft stripper, only better and faster, it will take it down to the metal so you definitely will need to prime it, i use etch primer after i use that stripper because you need a real good base primer after stripping it down, i know my friend jason had used some gelcoat shit and etch primer on his car after stripping it down cause you need to make sure you metal is protected and is completely flat, the etch primer works itself into the metal and makes a flat surface and good corrosion protector....and you can always get some shit sandblasted if you dont want to use stripper, haha.........
