Sorry (dumb question) but what's the best tool/attachment to get rid of that last bit of paint at the curve where coachroof meets deck - have tried scraping but that damages g/coat, mouse sander won't get in there, hand sanding seems difficult, hot air gun and scraper doesn't do the job

flummoxed

Profile your own triangular scrapers to a matching curve using a grinder ( actually make em a slightly smaller radius and chamfer off any sharp corners).
The same trick can be done with flat steel cabinet scrapers available from good paint shops. Some will sell you a 'profiled' cabinet scraper right off the shelf. Use a metal file ( frequently) to keep them sharp enough to remove just the paint and not grp.
Or apply chemical strippers?
