OK guys...what do you use for stripping paint from the interior quarter panels? What was recommended to me was Fiberglass paint stripper, by the same people who make aircraft stripper. You only apply it for 5 minutes, and wash thoroughly.
I'm concerned that I may damage the grain on these panels with chemicals, but no mechanical method will work on these fiberglass panels. I'm going to try it out on a section of a piece that won't show as a test. I called around town, and no one has a bad/damaged panel in inventory to try as a test article.
For painting, what was recommended was Vinyl Prep by SEM, followed by scotchbrite scuff pad, then wax/grease remover, then the SEM Landau Black paint.
I suspect most of you have used Krylon 1613 satin black, but I can get the SEM paint in bulk for the spray gun.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
