I start going after the paint, using both chemical and mechanical means. The old lacquer paint is really hard to dig through. It gets really gummy when the sander/grinder heats it up.
I got some stripper from an automotive shop that works well. I don't need to use the chemical down to the fiberglass, I just want to get through the top coat. I put it on, let it sit for five minutes, then scrape it off. I immediately sponge it down with water, then I use mineral spirits on it to remove the residual parafins in the stripper.
This is a really crummy job and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
