I am thinking about taking the flap to a professional house and seeing what they can do with it.
Probably not much more than you're doing. Remember, the rivet detail and such is mostly in the gel coat, gel coat is nothing more than a paint coat in the mold basically so it will come off like the paint does. A chemical stripper might work better for you, but I haven't personally tried stripping paint from fiberglass, anytime I've removed it, I've done it the old fashioned way, elbow grease and lots of sandpaper.
