Default PPG Paint Stripping

I have screwed UP!

I have painted my BVM fiberglass fuselage with PPG arylic urethane (DAU) but I did not mix properly. Now I have mismatch wings to the fuse. Has anyone tried stripping this paint off a fuse? If so what did you use and what were the results. I'm really looking for help so please let me know.

Sandpaper! Lots of it.

All of the paint strippers I have seen warn against use on plastic. I knew better than the manufacturers and ignored the warning. My epoxy fuselage ended up like a sock!.

If you do find a paint stripper that works then please let us all know.

Why not wet sand it with 400 and reshoot it?
