Paint and body section of the forum is where i would start. Some fantastic advice from experts and novices alike. Any threads from DUB are worth a read.

Use this product as it will not harm your fiberglass it is what I'm using now. You'll use Dumond paper, plastic orange blades, its water soluble. Non-Toxic. Its works.

Hello Tb,
Be cautious with the product you decide to use.
Sometimes the material IS suitable for use on fiberglass but will soften body filler (Bondo) that may have been used in prior repairs.
Also, be prepared to have to use more than one coat of remover if the body has multiple layers of paint.
Have fun!!!
Regards....

I believe I've only used 2 gal so far but I suspect I'll end up using 4-5 gallons.
