I'm having a spare sunroof re-sprayed and decided to bare metal it first - it has a few scratches etc.
I've done one before and used Nitromors. Just tried it and it doesn't touch it. It says 'new' so have they changed the formula?
So what would be the best stripper to use?

Fine if you have such a place close by.
On one of those Dave/Quest car programs based in an Indian workshop they did a whole car with bits of hacksaw blades.

You need the correct type of nitromors , there are several types for different types of paint these days
you could give these a ring, I bet they will know or do it themselves: CROYDON ELECTRO-PLATERS

Ah - I suspected as much. Obviously H&S at play. Instead of selling a dangerous chemical which works you now get one which doesn't - and at a higher price.
something like that , try brake fluid , that attacks both cellouse and acrylic based paints
Is nothing sacred?
I've just spoken to Henkle who make Nitromors. Their tech guy said dichloromethane which was the active ingredient of the old Nitromors was banned by the EU recently. Hence the new formula - which he said isn't as good. He could only suggest mechanical removal of the paint.
That's interesting information.
Although I don't like to use stripper as it may stay in the cracks and groves and cause paint problems if its not cleaned thoroughly.
My preferred method is to use a cone type wire brush on a 100mm angle grinder.

I got some manders paint stripper with dichloromethanein it about 3 months ago, try & buy it somewhere professional.
