My fairings i just got have been painted several times and are starting to crack and have chipps so i want to strip all the paint off and repaint them. Is there any stripper out there that will not eat the fiberglass away but strip the paint.

Thanks,
Nick

 

Nope, sand the paint off.

 

+1 sand the paint off


and before you repaint your fairings, fiberglass them with a few more layers from the back side..

that'll help them to not crack your paint next time

 

It's called flex additive.

 

flex additive might help the paint, but it isn't doing **** for the glass!

 

Right, it keeps the paint from cracking.

 

what about aircraft stripper??

 

What the **** did we just say? If you don't want our help, then don't ask for it. Just and go ahead and try it.

 

seriously, sand it bro. and if you wanna make the fiberglass stronger, buy some fiberglass resin and hardener. mix it and apply to the back side with a spreader or paint brush. doesn't look pretty but its on the inside and you can always paint over it.

 

 

Dont have to be a dick about it, it was just a question.

 

i work at home depot and in the paint dept. we have tons of chemical paint removers. take a look and if worst comes to worst, 400 grit sand paper and go to town

 

yeah its already been stripped and re painted thanks though.

 

word.

 

then let us see some pics.

 

wetsand I find is the best. 1000grit.

 

stripping paint with 1000gritt? Are you stupid?

That would take days, weeks, months, maybe YEARS!



strip that **** with something like 80-320 gritt
