Paint problems
Hey everyone, stripping my 80 and finding it alittle difficult. Im using the run of the mill fiberglass stripper and its just not doing the job. The car has 3 layers of primer and 3 of paint, with some kind of sealant in the mix, all in their respective orders. Does anyone know of any high, intense fiberglass paint remover, that might be able to get the job done? I would appreciate the help.

I had several layers of several colors of paint on my '80 too. I tried stripping it quickly realized that was going to go well. I am SO glad I had it media blasted. Media blasting removes multiple layers of paint without damaging fiberglass.
