Will caustic soda burn car paintwork?

Probably to some extent. Oil based base paint is acidic in nature, so I imagine sodium hydroxide will break it down - but you will be removing it layer-by-layer this way. Causic soda (NaOH, or Sodium Hydroxide) is a strongly alkaline solution. Car paint is applied in a kind of large over. There is generally a base layer, and a finishing coat. If you plan on using caustic soda, remember it is called 'caustic' for a reason. It will cause painful chemical burns to your skin on contact. If you do come in contact with caustic soda, you should use a mild acid to neutralise it (like vinegar [ethanoic/acetic acid]) Trying to wash off caustic soda will only make matters worse. If you want to remove car paintwork, you are best applying some kind of solvent - for example, paint stripper. Preferably one that is specifically designed for the purpose. All such products are extremely volatile, and give off strong fumes - and are probably quite nasty. It is also possible to burn off paint, but again it probably results in toxic fumes. For those planning on vandalising someone's car, please don't. Vandalism is the activity of a mentally deficient, mindless, sub-peasant halfwit.
