Charlie Smith 192 #1 Posted October 1, 2014 Hello all, As some of you are aware I have just picked up a 1973 lawn ranger, 80% of the tractor is either some sort of fibreglass material, or plastic of some sorts... I know how I can prep the metal and other bits, I just wasn't too sure on what's the best way to prep the fibreglass? Is there a paint stripper that will work, but won't damage the fibreglass, I was thinking to my self it's maybe not best to use sand paper as you may mark the fibreglass? Any suggestions, Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,874 #2 Posted October 1, 2014 Don't use stripper. Charlie it does funny things to glass and plastic I would rub it back with 200grade dry paper then finish with 400 grade wet and dry, that. Way it will be smooth but will leave a key for your paint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
