i know what you mean, it is almost plasticky and when you sand it you dont get sanding dust you get clumps. same with the rain guards on the roof above the doors.

exactly, it looks like black paint but it isn't. also on the t bar. well,anyways, i found some stuff at wal mart that took it off. it's called premium stripper. take 10-15 min. but well worth the wait, and it comes in a rattle can. beware it burns the crap outta your skin if it gets on you .
