Step 1

I have a few post-war Madison  heavyweights that are in poor condition, they all have significant chipping and this weird spotty paint mold damage. I'm not sure what the **** it is but it will not clean off no matter what I've done, so I'm going to attempt a repaint. Tuscan red color or whatever it is is pretty doggone tenacious and doesn't want to come off easily. I've tried other paint thinners and strippers and such, knowing that the bakelite shell is pretty tough and resilient. In fact some of my cleaning has changed the vestibule shade very slightly. The thing that worked the best and fastest so far between three different LowesDepot paint strippers on their shelves was the citrus type.
