Ok, I got some bad information and thus made a confusion post: I was
told that Alumigrip IS Imron. The paint shop told me they wouldn't
strip *Alumigrip* because of what you described - they didn't mention
Imron. When I asked around about Alumigrip I was told it was the same
as Imron, and thus the use of that word in my post. Guess it isn't.

Just goes to show, one should rely on the Internet for really important
information. Hmm.. I wonder if there actually might be something to all
those member-enlargement-drug emails I get...
