What is a fiberglass paint remover with a paste consistency
Will be removing paint from under the car. Is there a good paint remover that will stick like paste and not drip on me.

I think Marine Kwik will work. I used it many years ago on my entire '67 body. It's powerful and VERY caustic. MUST use good gloves, long sleeve shirt, googles, hat, armor plating. You get the picture! Dennis

i like small blaster and baking soda.. just not sure how big an area your looking to strip.
the dust gets messy....but it works pretty good with out destroying the fiber.

Citristrip is about the consistency of ketchup. Works pretty good. You can get it at Lowes or HD.

I recently bought this to strip my front fiberglass entry door. Haven't tried it yet and not sure if it's suitable for hardened automotive paint but it's definitely a paste. Sort of looks like a bucket of sheetrock mud. Probably doubtful they used high grade paint for the underside. It is made for fiberglass.

I used Klein Strip Aircraft for fiberglass, and then lacquer thinner with red Scotchbrite pads to remove it. Followed up with a lot of paper towels and lacquer thinner. The stripper is somewhat of a gel, but manageable.

I give a second vote for the Citristrip. It is safe on fiberglass and if it happens to contact your skin will be gentler than others and odor is better than other strippers Wear a face shield not just goggles as your are under the car. Citristrip can be removed with mineral spirits which is not as harsh as lacquer thinner. I do not know what type of paint was on the body of my car but the citristrip turned into a goo and using lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, or acetone did not phase it in the least. If this should happen use denatured alcohol which is the only solvent that worked on the goo.
