DO NOT USE ACTONE ON FIBERGLASS !!!!!

The acetone WILL soften the resin, and in many cases, cause the fiberglass to delaminate. The delamination is not immediately noticeable, however you will notice it in about 10 days. I found this out the hard way. [&o]

The best way to remove the paint is by sanding. If you MUST use a paint remover, determine what type of paint is on the plane (lacquer or enamel ) and use the approprite thinner. Lacquer thinner and/or mineral spirits, will have minimal impact on the fiberglass and/or gel coat as long as you thoroughly wash the fuselage with soap and water afterwards.
