Great for Automotive Restoration

3M Paint and Rust Stripper is a popular accessory for automotive restoration work because it saves time and labor. It attaches quickly to a common household drill, so removing old paint or stubborn rust is much easier than doing it by hand.

3M Paint and Rust Stripper

3M Paint and Rust Stripper removes rust, scale and old paint from metal with exceptional ease. This slightly flexible disc uniformly grinds or sands over contoured or curved surfaces for greater consistency. It attaches easily to a standard electric drill - the drill does much of the work, saving effort and boosting efficiency. Paint and rust strippers come in both heavy and light duty options.

Details:

  • Grinding disc removes rust, scale, and old paint from metal
  • Multi-use abrasive works on metal, wood, fiberboard and plastics

Strip Away Old Paint and Corrosion with Ease

3M Paint and Rust Stripper works quicker, lasts longer and cuts faster than conventional sandpaper to strip away corrosion, scale and old finishes. Made from durable, non-woven synthetic material, this rust and paint remover makes a tough job faster and easier – it cleans away surface corrosion to reveal the surface below. Silicon carbide abrasives fracture easily to expose sharp edges for aggressive grinding that speeds removal of rust and scale. The paint and rust stripper may be used on fiberboard, plastics, wood, clear coat, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint, and putty.

Simply attach this disc to an electric drill with a 1/4-inch mandrel and apply directly to corrosion or old paint for fast removal. The power of the electric drill saves a lot of time and effort compared with sanding by hand.

A Handy Accessory in the Dent Repair Process

This automotive paint stripper and rust remover accessory is often used for dent repair projects. It will cleanly strip away paint and clean away rust in preparation for filling the dent with auto body filler. It makes quick work of removing paint and leaves a good surface for filler or repainting.

Using Science to Make Life Easier

3M has used the science behind synthetic materials to help you bring your vehicles back to life. This paint and rust stripper is an excellent tool for automotive repair and restoration, and part of a long 3M tradition – helping true auto enthusiasts get the most from their work, and from the finished result.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2018

    What can I say except that it does exactly what 3M claims it does. I'm using it as a make-do bench grinder using an old heavy-duty Black and Decker drill clamped in a vise, and I've only used it to remove rust from some old spring clamps, but it worked like a champ. My impression is that it's quite durable and should last a good while, especially if you don't jam the edge of a workpiece up against it and are otherwise careful about the direction of rotation. A bonus for me is that it's only 5/8: thick, which makes it easy to get into narrow spaces that a bench grinder can't, and you can approach it from almost any angle for even more versatility.

    Used to strip multiple coats of automotive paint, primer, and rust off of a 35-year old vehicle with a corded power drill. Works as described, holds up well to heavy use, but buy a few extra just in case. No one wants to run to the hardware store for a full-priced stripper disc halfway through the job and covered in dust.

    Ok. Bought this on a whim. I have a small 2 bed cabin on an island which has been painted at least 9 million times and I wanted to strip it all off and repaint the whole thing! So this thing did it. Well I should say 3 of them did it! I bought 2 more! Oh and try to use an electric drill. I was cooking thru both my 18 Ryobi and 18v DeWalt drills batteries real fast. Wear eye protection!!! This thing flings small paint chips fast and pretty much everywhere. But damn it works!
