ByStickel Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm stripping 4 coats of paint off of my '71 (most complete with primer, sealer, color and clear!) and want to strip the fender extensions, too. I hear people say that they're fiberglass, but they sure seem like plastic to me, and I don't want to damage the material. Is it safe to use Aircraft Remover? Are there better ways? Thanks!

ZHoob2004 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The headlight surrounds are FRP, or fiberglass reinforced plastic (so they're both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't think you'll have any problems. I've stripped an entire fiberglass car with aircraft grade stripper. Strip[ them and then hose them off with clean water, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 They make a version of Aircraft Stripper specifically for fiberglass. +1 for neutralizing any paint stripper with water when it's done it's job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByStickel Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thanks, folks. I can always to a little test on the back side of one before trying to remove any paint. Wish me luck (; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
