Denatured alcohol doesn't even make a dent. Maybe I can sandblast my hands.

Yeah, when they say that you'll wear it for at least 3 days they mean it. 
I've tried lacquer thinner, enamel reducer, soapy water, and nothing takes it 
off except time. If you get after it right away, you might have a small 
chance. I haven't tried sandblasting yet.
>2. Buy pints. If you're doing small piecework, you'll waste less.

Ok, i've found that sometimes its just not quite enuf though.

>3. As much as I hate to do it, what with breathing well and all, fog the
entire frigging driveway with bug spray. Wet-sanding, anyone?

Yeah, thats stuff effects me more than any paint I've ever worked with. I 
have to leave the room and call it a day when I use it. You can sand it if 
needed, but you should wait at least a week first. I just wait and dry sand 
it, then recoat as they recommend 2 coats .
> Anyone need some body metal?
Make me an offer. Remember: I'm not cutting into this for a few weeks, and
it all goes to the recycler at the end of the day.

You're probably on the wrong coast for me for steel though. :(   It sounds 
like you made great progress too.
