Always remove paint before welding or heating. Wear
an approved respirator to sand or grind paint, avoid
breathing the dust.
If using solvent or paint stripper, remove the stripper
with soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or
paint stripper containers and other flammable material

or heating.
