That sounds great.
I personally would go for an all RED airplane. Red Baron Style 8)
Good luck with the paint work, keep us updated!

It's most likely some sort of paint stripping agent. It's mean stuff and strong, but probably not acidic in a chemical sense.
I used to strip antique furniture in a solution of sodium hydroxide, which is a base, and strips off paint in nothing flat, provided it was heated beforehand. There are other striping agents as well whose compound I cannot recall anymore, but they were very volatile and if you used them in a closed space you had to be careful not to inhale the fumes. Nasty stuff. Almost passed out a few times.
To do a job like that on an aircraft is one heck of a major undertaking. Hats off for the patience it requires.
