Painting Fiberglass
I need to strip all the paint off my front GFX and repaint it. Aside from sanding, whats the best way to get rid of the paint. Also, if anyone else has done this, was the repaint job fairly easy? I've never painted fiberglass and I'm assuming you need bond-aid and all that mess.

the front spoiler isn't made of fiberglass, i believe it's plastic. as far as painting, you would primer and paint as normal, but you'll need to add some flex agent.

When I bought my spoiler I was told by ramairhood.com that I didn't need flex for fiberglass because the fiberglass should be relative stiff, at least as much as metal. But I plan on putting some flex agent in it.

Yeah, I've already bought the flex paint, that was my first purchase. I saw what the front and rear clips can do without it and I don;t want that happening to mine. I plan on selling the car in a few months anyway so it only has to look good til then.
