Fiberglass panel

Post by RobinGi »

I have a fiberglass front guard and was wondering the best way to remove the old paint
all the metal panels I have used the sand blaster to remove the paint but i'm concerned that with the sand blaster i would end up damaging the fiberglass underneath or will I have to revert to ye old sandpaper ?

suggestions, ideas, comments ?

Im not recomending it but I stripped some fiberglass just with normal paint stripper. It didnt affect the gelcoat at all. Do a test before you blame me for stuffing your panel.
