what is the deal with the brake fluid? Has anyone else done that and how well does it really work... Will it take it down to the metal? I guess im a little skeptical

Rather than using something that will damage paint incidentally like brake fluid, just use some chemical stripper if that is the way you want to go.

RE: Best Paint Remover
DA will take an air compressor the size of a friggin zeppelin....dont even bother....get one of those $9 angle grinders from harbor freight, and get a stripping disc and just go to work. i did my whole car in about a day and a half. its like a hot knife through butter. prob will need more than one disc but its the easiest way i found. sure there is dust, but at least its just dust but there is no sticky mess like with paint stripper....which by the way is the worst way to strip anything i have found.....sure it makes a few bubbles but it ends up being you stripping off the paint with tons of effort and then your left with a sticky mess after its all over that oyu have to clean off......but u cant really get into nooks nad crannys good....thats where you should sand blast.

but for the quickest and easiest wasy the chemical stripper is a great way to go(get the one in jug not the spray) u brush it on lay some saran wrap on top of it(keep it from evaporating so quickly) then scrape it off with a bondo spreader(it doesnt take filler off though)
yes its caustic youll need glove and to do it in a well ventilated area
