    Have you tried a propane torch? You need to be careful but back in the day many folks used one to remove paint from wood. Apply heat to soften the paint then scrape it off.

      Lol. No. I did that by spraying a lot paint to the point where it builds up. If you wait 2 min and scrape of that area layers of old paint come off as well. It's just sucks that I'm waisting paint to take paint off

        Soda blasting will do the job. Its a bit like sandblasting but there is way more control . You could have just the topcoat blasted off if you wanted to, leaving the original primer intact.... ready to repaint, Or have the lot removed ready for fresh primer and paint. Gets at those hard to sand areas no problem!!
        Im confused..... no...wait...mabee im not?

          Aircraft stripper will eat thru urethane clearcoat unlike standard furniture grade stripper. From what I can tell proboat uses the urethane type 2 part clear

              Wet sanding. Using different grit sand paper. And little by little it's coming off

                        In car restoration removing paint from small plastic brittle parts I soak them in brake fluid works well on fiberglass as well easy clean up easer than stripper and cheaper

                          what would you use for cleanup to remove the residue of the break fluid?
