yep you get melted paint everywhere.I use various size paint scrapers and then the plastic abrasive wire wheels in either the drill or the big angle grinder for the large jobs.This doesnt hurt the metal and has a fantastic finish.I gtta admit the citrus stuff isnt as savage but geez id rather some extra time than cancer...wish the old owner hadnt got their friend to give it a new paint job..would have made my job much easier.Filler is for fine finishing not for filling golf ball size dents thats the hammer an dollys job
