arizona Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 think if you put paint stripper on it may leave a problem with a reaction to paint sure a paintshop guy mentioned that to me before many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizona Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 For anybody with a fibreglass-bodied vehicle, sanding is the best and safest method of paint removal. The only difference between the fibreglass and metal bodies procedure is that 80 grit could accidentally go through the gelcoat and into the glass body. DO NOT USE PAINT STRIPPER ON FIBREGLASS. excerpt taken from this link... http://www.spraychiefcustompaints.com.au/images/spraychief-tips.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
