Hi there,

Could anyone tell me the best way to remove a painted name off a fiber glass hull - without ruining the fiber glass! And no, its not stolen! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Thanks a mil',
Paul.
 
Re: Remove Name

Rubbing compound works. Alternatively some wet and dry paper or a scouring pad with the rubbing compound makes it quicker. Note that a heavy paste is required.

Once this is done then simply polish to finish
 
Assuming it is not stick on letters and is paint, Use a marine cutting compound as fine as you can get away with and a polishing machine with a woolen bonnet and it comes off easily.

I have done this for two boats with no problem.
 
Kleen-Off oven cleaner gel was a favourite of our local signwriter, on grp for many years. Sadly he & hand painted signwriting have been replaced by vinyl graphics. Such is progress I guess.
