    Paint stripper and panel beating - your expertise please!

    What sort of paint tsripper do you use? I have been using PolyStrip from Bunnings and it has worked alright, but before I fork over another $40 for another can, I want to know if there is anything better around.

    Also, does anyone know where to buy panel beating dollies and hammers etc?

    I am after reasonable quality but I don't need the fanciest ones around.

    Cheers big ears.

    For non professional Panel Beating, suggest KC tools

    Hello,

    These are the tools you are looking for, Hammers $35 approx (save $75) off professional ones & same for the dolly.

    KC Tools (for the hammers)
    DOLLY HEEL (photo of a KC dolly)

    I hope this helps you out, the home site will allow you to input your post code to find the nearest outlet. Or look up KC tools in yellow pages search.

    Cheers
    Glen
