Gelo coat safe paint remover
#1
Did a google search and found a few(Peel-Away and Ready-Strip came up the most) but none of them had very good reviews.
Is there anything out there that will actually remove paint without hurting the gel coat?

It is possible. I think it has been discussed here as to what works best. I don't have stones big enough to try on mine lol. Keep in mind there will most likely be a discoloration and an outline that may or may not wetsand and rub out.

Or just do yours first and let me know what works best!

I tried it on mine. It does work, but it will soften the top layer of gel and cause it to swell up. Don't do any sanding on it for a while after until all the solvents escape and it shrinks back down. I only did one stripe before I quit and just sanded the rest off. In my experience it sands off faster and you dont have to worry about stuff coming back to bite you later.

Thinking of removing the stripe on the boat(see avatar) so not a lot. Looks like sanding is the safest way. Although orbital sanders scare me. LOL
