What's the best way to remove paint from dash and rust on "A" pillar

On full restos, we sandblast everything, but for touch up, I guess good old fashioned fine grit sand paper would do the trick. Suggestion for painting, we use SEM brand spray paint, it's expensive, but the results are fantastic. I use their self etching primer, and they have a satin black that's perfect for the interiors of our 65/66 clones we do.

 

Do not sand blast the roof as it will warp.

 

If its all factory paint (not krylon) I used to spray "Mr. Muscle" oven cliener on it and then put on gloves and wipe the paint off with a damp rag. By the way, that's the only brand I found that worked. It will strip factory paint off the inside of doors as well (steel wool cleans things up good). Aparently as well as oven cleaner its a light duty paint remover. That factory paint is laquer and it doesn't take much to get it off.

Good Luck...

 

I get it at the grocery store. I assume they still make it. If not, try some others.
