If you are going to use a pressure washer to remove the paint/stripper, you
will need to have another person on hand.
The 2nd person will be needed when you cannot stand the itching/burning any
longer!!!! They will need to hold the pressure washer wand while you slowly
walk into the stream to wash off stripper.
You WILL take a bath with the unit to be stripped!!!
Been there, done that!!!
I also put a blue tarp under the truck, on a hill with a bail of hay where
all the water would drain. That collected most of the paint.
