Stripping paint from fiberglass

thescifiguy · 08-18-2009

I'm soon to be the proud owner of a Lenk fiberglass GT hood that has been previously painted and it's gonna need to be stripped. A guy at work suggested "bumper stripper", which is used when your modern car's flexible plastic/composite bumpers get scratched or damaged and need painting.

What's the best commonly available paint stripping product I can use to do the job?

Try sandpaper first. I would think that there isn't that many layers of paint on it. Start with 180 grit sandpaper and see how easy it is to get the paint off. I fit comes off pretty easily, you can finish with 320 - 400 grit wet/dry paper before primer.
