Can a paint stripper, like from WalMart, be used to strip paint off of fiberglass? I need to repair my R34 front and have it repainted. I just don't want to screw up the fiberglass. Anyone have any idea?

most paint strippers will melt fiberglass. The only method I know of is sanding,sanding,sanding. Take you time and it will come out good.

BINGO! :)
And you probably don't need to remove ALL of the paint anyway, just remove enough to create a flat clean surface
