Why The Wall Slayer Exterior Paint Removal Kit?
- No Lead Vaporization: Infrared heat softens paint (~400°F) well below the lead’s vaporizing threshold of 825°F, helping keep toxic fumes at bay.
- Hands-Free Magic: The InfraRed Rack Kit holds your Speedheater™ in place, allowing super-fast movements up/down/left/right - so it is always heating while you scrape. No more wasted downtime and arm fatigue. NOTE: Fits the Speedheater 1100 and Rapid Slim paint removers.
- 50% Faster Paint Stripping: One-pass paint removal and fewer tool adjustments mean you plow through old layers in record time increasing your work flow. On most paint surfaces you can average up to 1 linear foot stripped, per minute.
- Easy & Efficient Setup: Mount the Rail System to the highest point along the wall and access ~ 90% of the work area from the one initial setup.
- Budget-Friendly: Tackle the bulk of the work yourself instead of hiring out an entire $30-$70k paint job.

Safety First
Always follow EPA guidelines for lead paint removal. Wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, protective clothing), contain your work area, and dispose of paint chips responsibly. With the Speedheater’s lower-temperature infrared technology, you’ll reduce the risk of releasing lead dust or fumes. But remember: safety is always priority number one!Pro Tips for Lasting Results
- Surface Preparation: After stripping to bare wood, sand any rough areas and prime thoroughly with high-quality products for maximum adhesion.
- Moisture Management: Address rotting trim, leaking gutters, or loose fasteners before painting to prevent premature failure.
- Wood Conditioning: Consider oil primer on raw, older wood to ensure proper bonding and prevent excessive absorption.
- Application Technique: Use brushes rather than sprayers to work paint deep into the wood grain for superior longevity.

Expert Advice You Can Trust
Chris lives nearby so I hired him for advice about adding insulation and Unico AC to our 1889 house and repairing the antique carriage doors on our 1930s garage. He spent an hour with me looking at everything thoroughly and making suggestions, then followed it up the next day with a detailed report complete with explanatory photos and contact information for a couple of craftsmen he thought could help me. His enthusiasm was a pleasure and his expert advice was both helpful and reassuring — much like it is online.
