I'm using these disks to strip paint and a kight coat of Bondo off my 73 Challenger, down to the bare metal.

These disks work great and are really gentle on the metal. They leave very fine scratches on the metal surface, but nothing that is really deep.

I've also been using After Blast to clean the surfaces and prevent flash rusting, and the minor scratches disappear.

If you are doing quite a large area, you'll need quite a few of them, as they do wear down somewhat quickly.

Use the backing disk #31073 for use with a 4.5 inch angle grinder. Max RPM is 10,000. My DeWalt is 11,000, so I bought a Metabo from Amazon which is 10,000 RPM.

I bought this backing pad to use the stripping disks #31086. Works well, installs easlily on the grinder and disks attach with velcro like system.

One thing to watch out for, though. Max RPM is 10,000 RPM, so I had to shop around for a 4.5 inch grinder that didn't exceed that. Got a Metabo from Amazon, and it works better than my DeWalt!

Also, as the disks wear down, be careful not to burn the backing plate up. I burned some of the edge velcro hooks when the disks got too small, but it still works fine. I bought a spare one just in case this one finally let go.

Overall, with the stripping disks, I hightly recommend this item.
