Anyone know of a fiberglass-safe paint stripper?
nope, but don't use regular paint stripper. I tried and my fairings would up looking alot like Manual Noriega. :?
That's precisely why I'm asking...
I have heard of one, and I probably have the name in some archive at home. I believe they make a point of being fiberglass safe on the can. An autobody supply place can likely help you out.
I usually just sand the surface. If you really want to, you can get most of the paint off pretty quick with a little orbital sander. Or you can just rough it up, and finish over it.
hey...
i work at a boat shop and we sell tons of fiberglass paint strippers and such...i would suggest going to a local boaters world or west marine (if there is one local, if not check their websites) and look up all of interlux's products....the numbers slip my thoughts at the moment but they deal with boat paint and are a real good brand (i've stripped paint of countless boats....)....i think it may just be interlux.com...
hope it helps.
great idea! didn't even think of a marine shop...thanks!
Use some gasoline, i accidently spilled gas on a plastic floorboard of a moped once and the paint (it was black Krylon spray paint) came right off, barely even touched it, so i would imagine it would work without hurting fiberglass.
I think he got it figured out back in '03.
LOL! :laugh:
classic. great laugh at this.
