I've stripped paint off vintage lightweight bicycles with an aircraft stripper from an autoparts store. Scary, unforgiving stuff.http://forums.iboats.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Any product recommendations for removing owner-painted camouflage paint from a 1998 16' open, semi-V fishing boat by Lund?

Inside and outside of hull and bench sides has to be stripped.

Ive heard that Easy-off oven cleaner works well. Probably test a spot first!

i would say pressure wash, rough up the paint, and repaint.

Easy Off will eat your flesh if you get a splatter on you or your glove leaks. Been there.

I'd seriously consider a repaint.
