help. cervini hood covered in cheap spray paint. Best way to remove

philcore3 · Sep 7, 2006

I bought a cervini hood used, it was painted with spray paint out of a can. It needs to come off. Is their any easier way than sanding, which I am doing now. Chemical strippers? Will that hurt the gel coat? Or do I just tough it out and continue sanding away?

You are going to have sand it anyway for better paint adhesion. But chemicals are quicker. You may want to drop this into the paint shop and see what you come up with there.

sand it..........stripper on pretty much anything besides metal = bad news

Try pouring some Castrol Super Clean on it and letting it set up and then scrub it off with a soft brush.

It works on taking spray paint off of plastic car models and doesnt affect the plastic so it shouldnt hurt fiberglass either.

Brake fluid! Dunno if that would hurt the hood or not, but I know it will strip paint off a fender pretty quick and efficiently lol.

Yep...don't even screw with trying to strip it, just sand it really good. Don't get lazy and try to rush it and take the easy way out. It's a good hood so take your time and sand it right, then primer it and you'll be set.
