Sort of on this same subject- Has anyone found a good way to remove paint
from the fiberglass interior pcs? The FRP panels on my 65 have been painted
once then touched-up here and there- I don't want to repaint again for fear of
losing the "graining".

Thanks in Advance

Your not going to like this answer, but here it goes.

Use lacquer thinner and a small wire brush , such as a battery terminal cleaning
brush and patiently work the thinner into the grain. This will remove the paint
without disturbing the grain. It taint no fun.
