Has a certain service life. Every year the paint fades and changes its properties. The car looks less attractive. To freshen it up and return the car to a fresh factory look, the question arises of re-painting. But experts do not recommend applying enamel to the old one. For best adhesion, thoroughly prepare the entire surface. The best way is metal paint stripper. We will talk about it today.
Manufacturers
There are several popular manufacturers these funds. On russian market the following brands are worth highlighting:
- "Eltrans-N".
- "Abro".
- "Permatex"
- "Vertex".
How different are they from each other? And which one is the most best liquid for removing paint from metal of cars? We will find out the answer to this question during the tests.
"Eltrans-N"
The product is called “Old paint remover”. The manufacturer declares that this remedy great for removing different types paints, namely:
- Polyurethane.
- Vinyl.
- Oil.
- Alkyd.
Also, the composition uses propane-butane gas (as a propellant).
The tool removes enamel from both metal and wood surfaces. The instruction says that the product should be shaken thoroughly before use. Next, the agent is applied to the surface of the body. The duration of the drug action is from 10 to 60 minutes. During the tests, no chemical processes after 20 minutes did not happen. The enamel didn't even bleed. The remedy works for a very long time. This is its main drawback. Reviews also note the lack of products in aerosol cans. I have to buy a brush. In this case, the drug lies on the paintwork with a transparent film. It is difficult to determine from it how much of the funds was sprayed.
But it should be noted that this is the cheapest liquid for removing paint from metal. The price for a 500 ml bottle is 500 rubles.
"Abro"
This is a famous manufacturer from the USA. The company has been operating since the 30s of the last century and has an extensive range of products. Among her is a liquid for removing old paint from metal. It is sold in aerosol. The volume of the can is 283 grams. The cost of the product is 350 rubles.
The tool is designed to remove enamel, varnish and epoxy compounds from various surfaces. These are ceramics, metal and wood. However, surprisingly, metal paint stripper is not suitable for plastics, although it has a good effect.
The instructions are quite simple - you should shake the can and gently spray it on the surface. The product contains acid, therefore the presence rubber gloves - required.
The instruction says that the product works within 10-20 minutes. During the tests, "Abro" showed itself with the best side... After application, the paint begins to heave and peel off the surface. It took 15 minutes for the action to complete. The product met the terms set by the manufacturer. The aerosol coped with 90% of the paintwork.
As for the reviews, they are quite positive. The drug acts quickly and is easy to apply. However, experts warn about fakes. Since this is an eminent manufacturer, you can run into a fake. So always compare the price and look at the labeling.
"Permatex"
This is already a Japanese remedy. Also suitable for removing stubborn stickers. Unlike the American "Abro", the product can be used on plastic surfaces... However, Permatex is not very popular on the Russian market. In view of this, its price is $ 14, or about 860 rubles at the current exchange rate. The manufacturer claims that the product operates at temperatures from +5 to 38 degrees Celsius. The working time of the solvent is from 10 to 15 minutes. During testing, this tool did an excellent job. The liquid is evenly applied by the spray gun and immediately begins to peel off the paint. In this case, the substance forms a small layer of foam.
How does Permatex work? Experts say this is not the best liquid for removing powder paint from metal. She copes with stickers "with a bang." But not very good with good paint. Since the product is universal, it removed only 30 percent of the enamel from the metal surface. Therefore, the Japanese tool is not very suitable for preparing for painting work.
"Summit B-52"
It's a paint shredder domestic production... The instruction says that the product copes well with ether-cellulose and water-dispersion enamels, as well as varnish, and the manufacturer claims a duration of 20 to 30 minutes. The cost is more than affordable - 200 rubles for 850 grams of the product. True, the "Top B-52" is sold only in the bank. Reviews note that for use, you also need to buy a brush.
The paint and varnish remover has a gel-like formula, due to which, after application, an even and thick layer is formed on the surface. Also, when using the product, accidental splashes on the adjacent surface are excluded. The liquid is very thick. At the same time, the instructions do not mention shaking. The drug can be applied immediately at positive temperatures. After 30 minutes, 7 percent of the paint was removed from the surface. Surprisingly, the product was not as effective as the manufacturer claimed.
Outcome
So what is the best metal paint stripper? During the tests best grade got the drug american production "Abro". This product is very liquid on the Russian market and has an acceptable cost. The silver was shared between Permatex and B-52 Summit. The first one has a rather high cost, while the second solvent is less effective, but more affordable in terms of price. Well, the worst is the remedy for "Eltrans-N". The wash did not cope with the tests, and does not meet the declared characteristics.
How to distinguish a fake?
As we said earlier, now there are many fakes on the auto chemistry market. Moreover, they can be sold at the same price as the original. How to tell if it is the original metal paint stripper or not? Many people talk about the presence of an embossed logo. However, such a badge can be found not only on the original, but also on counterfeit products. Modern technologies allow you to master any marking method.
But what does not have fake products "Abro" is the corresponding inscription at the bottom. The original bears the inscription “Made in China under the control of ABRO INDUSTRIES, INC., USA”. On fakes, they are limited to only the first three words. The same goes for other products from an American manufacturer (for example, sealants). The latter are packaged in boxes of 12 pieces. Counterfeits are packed in boxes of 144 pieces.
So, we have considered the main manufacturers of auto chemical goods. Now you know how to quickly and easily remove old paint from metal.

Sometimes it is necessary to remove paint from metal surfaces. There are several ways to remove old paint.
Features:
There are three known methods for removing old paint from a metal surface:
- Mechanical- processing is carried out by sandblasting machine or manually using sandpaper. May damage metal.
- Burning out- heating the metal to high temperatures, due to which the paint itself lags behind. This method creates a fire hazard and surface damage.
- Chemical- use of special compounds that corrode paint in a short period of time.
Chemical method removal of the old coating is the most demanded and common, because removers only destroy paint without affecting the surface itself. The formulations are easy to use and are presented in a wide range.
Pros and cons
Chemical paint removers have many advantages over other cleaning methods. These include the resistance of the surface to the effects of chemicals in their composition (in contrast to mechanical methods cleaning) and ease of application and cleaning from paintwork.
Paint strippers work fairly quickly. It depends on the type of cleaner, the number of layers of the old coating and the air temperature. On average, dissolution of one layer takes from 20 minutes to 2 hours... There is no need to apply great efforts to remove the dissolved old paint - the old coating can be easily removed with a spatula.
Often, a cleaning agent (remover) dissolves not only unnecessary coating, but also cleans the metal from corrosion, which saves time and eliminates additional actions.
Cons of metal washes:
- If the paint is thick, the paint remover must be applied several times.
- Sometimes grease remains on the surface after using the remover. This is due to the specific composition of the wash. To get rid of these stains, after cleaning the surface, treat it with a degreasing agent.
Operating principle
After applying the cleaning agent, after a while the paint softens, flakes off and begins to swell. The coating loses its strength and density, and the adhesion capacity is significantly reduced. This means that the solvent has taken effect.
After the time indicated on the container with the remover has passed, you can start removing the paint with a spatula. The coating can be removed easily - under the influence of a cleaning agent, it itself lags behind the surface.
Varieties and composition
Washes are divided according to the type of paint to be removed:
- Universal - suitable for various surfaces: metal, concrete, wood. They have a high shelf life and are able to dissolve even powder coatings, but are useless for water dispersion, acrylate and latex paints.
- For oil coatings... Contains organic baking powder, thickener and solvent. Shake the mixture before use.
- For water-based coatings... The mixture is almost identical in composition to the water dispersion removers. It is advisable not to purchase liquid with hydrochloric acid in the composition.
- Express wash... They have a fast exposure time - just a few minutes.
- For powder paints... Due to the high strength of powder coatings, stronger and more toxic washes are used.
Universal products have a lower price and are suitable for almost all types of paints, but it is recommended to use them in extreme cases, because they often do not completely dissolve the coating immediately, and thus their consumption increases.
Since the flushing liquid works only until complete evaporation, some washes are added to wax or paraffin. These materials slow down the evaporation process, thereby improving the effect of the wash... But they have a drawback: paraffin reduces the ability of the metal to adhere.
If you do not completely clean the surface of its traces, then the new coating will not be able to adhere well to the surface.
Sometimes just water and a cleaning agent are not enough to remove the wax or wax. In such cases, acetone or another organic solvent is used. On the modern market, you can find paraffin-free cleaning agents, they are added with more modern evaporation inhibitors. Such products do not require subsequent special cleaning of the surface.
By the type of consistency, the following types of washes are distinguished:
- liquid;
- in the form of a gel;
- sprays;
- water soluble powders;
- pasty.
The advantage gel solvents is the possibility of their application on a vertical surface and even on ceilings due to their viscosity.
With sprays it is necessary to be careful: it is necessary to spray the composition at a distance of 25-30 cm from the surface and in an upright position, at a great distance from sources of fire (do not differ in fire resistance) and use closed clothing and goggles.
Paste removerswell suited for profiled surfaces because they penetrate perfectly into all recesses that, for example, a liquid solvent cannot cope with. Liquid formulations are best applied to flat surfaces.
Coating remover can be applied with a brush if the surface has uneven texture and fine detail. For large surfaces with an even texture, a roller is preferred. With a spray gun, you can apply a wash in a liquid state.
By the types of components in the composition of the washes are divided into the following categories:
- acidic (hydrochloric acid is often present);
- alkaline;
- organic (characterized by the absence of alkalis and acids).
Basically, acids or alkalis are not terrible for metal, but nevertheless, for a successful result, it is better to look closely at washes with organic substances.
Among the popular removers are:
- Aerosol cleaner ABRO PR-600... It is safe and can be easily washed off with water, does not contain alkalis. The softening time of the paint is approximately 10-20 minutes. Suitable for cleaning acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane coatings.
- Cleanser "SP-7"... The composition is based on organic components, it is also safe. Suitable for removing oil, acrylic, epoxy and alkyd coatings. This wash russian production has all the necessary advantages: fire resistance, rapid destruction of paint, penetration into deep layers of the coating, removal of corrosion traces. It is used for both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Consumption
The amount of liquid required for removing paint and varnish coatings depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe treated surface, its condition (whether there are traces of corrosion), the type of cleaning agent, and the thickness of the old coating. The thicker the old paint, the more times you will have to treat the metal surface with a remover, which means that the consumption of funds will be greater. Also for removing the oil layer of paint will require more liquid than other types of paints.
The thickness of the cleaning agent layer must match the thickness of the coating layer... Therefore, for an approximate calculation of the required amount of remover, you can focus on the amount of paint that was once applied.
The air temperature is of no small importance, since at its high rates, the process of evaporation of the cleaning agent is faster, so it may not have time to completely dissolve the paint, and it will also be necessary to process the metal again.
How to remove?
Before treating a metal surface with a washing solvent, you must first thoroughly clean the dirt and dust from the metal, and then proceed to applying the remover.
