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.

I've owned a 1910 Craftsman for six years and always struggled to find products that actually worked on old materials. My Old House Fix changed that. Everything here is sourced with historic homes in mind — not repurposed hardware store stuff. The Speed Heater alone saved my original windows. And the community? I've gotten better advice here than from any contractor I've hired.
