Default RE: Rusty Ashley

I gotta repaint the fuze first, its a mess. Spent a good part of the day sanding down through the paint to the glass, and re-priming.
A little off the main topic, but the above quote caught my eye. Trying to sand paint off a Q40 is not my idea of fun. I have been trying to find a paint stripper that will remove automotive paint without attacking the epoxy fuselage. Most strippers, (Paint that is) even those sold in the automotive stores warn against using on plastic. I tried one some years ago on a wing. What a mess, it took every thing off, the paint and the glass cloth.

Anybody?
