Bartoline 55878765 2.5L TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper

Used on a metal garage door where the paint had started to peel. I was not too hopeful that any paint-lifting product would be effective on metal paint or, if it were, that the removal of the resulting softened paint would be arduous.I followed the instructions for a small test area but didn't really leave enough time for the second coat to work. I was impressed - but still had to work a bit in scraping off the residue - although it got easier towards the end of the task as time had passed.For the remainder of the door, I left the first coat to work for a full 90 minutes before adding the second coat and leaving it for a similar time. I was frankly amazed at how completely the paint was lifted! In many cases I was peeling off a full square foot with ease. I didn't even need to follow up with sandpaper - it all came off like the skin off a rice pudding.Pictures show the door after the second coat had been given time to work - and the final result about an hour later!

You need to allow time on paint as it not like old paint strippers that had stronger chemicals but worse for voc and environment. Did the job eventually.

Works well, put it on and I left it for 24 hrs with cling film over it to stop it drying out. Next day paint came right off.

This is absolutely useless. I applied as per instructions yo a painted decking and it didn't work, so tried leaving it a bit longer but still no joy. The next day I tried applying 3 to 4 coats throughout the day so took around 4hrs in total then applied a jet wash and The paint was still in its original state apart from some of the corners which if I had persisted would of taken me weeks possibly months so I have marked this with 1 star only because I have to choose a star

Apparently this has it's limitations. It does strip SOME paint but it's very weak. They are misleading in their description of it's implied effectiveness. Whatever the paint was that I wanted stripped resisted this stuff almost completely. It clearly has more effect on some paints than others... I feel they are obliged to make this clear yet they choose not to. I cannot recommend this product.
