you might wanna be careful with that. I've seen acetone eat away plastic. not sure what it could do to fiberglass. I think I've seen organic paint remover.
Finger nail polish remover (acetone) and or Citrus based cleaners (citriclean) on a rag/cottonball/q-tip will remove rattle can paint with very little elbow grease. I've used it on synthetic buttstocks/parts with no ill effects but just to be safe, test it on a small area first.
No, not really, sounds like over kill and a good way to damage your parts. Why do that when you can wipe the krylon off with a rag using the products mentioned?
With a rag and acetone it's as easy as wiping your ass, thats how easy the krylon comes off.
Degreaser is often used in pre-prep for paint.
If it was harmful to a paint finish it wouldn't be used.
If you wanna remove paint get acetone, lacquer thinner....heck aircraft stripper.
If your just gonna reshoot it again....just sand it smooth and reshoot it.
Paint is about foundations. If the original base layer is applied properly and sanded....you can spray right over the top as long as their is no chemical reactions.
Usually when you mix oddball paint makes is when you have issues but not always.
Parts that are thin, brittle, made of plastic need special precautions when sanding/stripping.
Make sure everything is dry and clean prior to spraying. Cleaners/degreasers/oils/ left on the surface can cause mottling or fish eyes.
