    I've heard good things about those style tools but never tried one, I think the Eastwood company calls it the "contour" stripper. Definitely going to invest in one of those next time I have to do a large amount of paint stripping.

    First experience and am pleasantly surprised and impressed! I believe the drums are interchangeable between this one & the Eastwood one, at least I read that somewhere.

    Harbor Freight has brought out the Hercules version of this and I think they have or are closing out the Bauer version like mine, so if there are any left in stores you might score a deal.

    They were regularly on sale at $99.00 to about $106.00 around here depending on the sale, when the Hercules version was announced, I found mine marked down to $69.00 so took a chance. .

    Huge milestone for me, applying epoxy primer to seal the inside of the fenders.

    Driver side fender sealed in epoxy primer. Next up, the inner fenders.

    Starting on the inner fenders getting the tar, rust and general grime off. Slow and tedious because of their shape.
