Default Paint repair ( fixing a bad job)

So you guys helped me a lot already (thank you)

my next question is on painting. My old cub had a poor paint job on the interior. The piant did bind real well and looks like fuel is caused it to kinda bubble and peal a bit. Plus it is not uniform (now it looks like it was collered using a crayon . The rest is just dirty (and tacky in parts). It's interior so I could just leave it but its gonna annoy me


my question is how to strip it off and redo it? (Or can I sand/scrape it a bit and cover it with something)

Default RE: Paint repair ( fixing a bad job)

I didn't get a reply so I took a guess that seems to have worked. I took a rag and soaked it in lacquer thinner. I rubbed the paint off as much as I could and sanded it clean. I repainted with enamel .
