paint strippers safe on.....

is this safe to use on the carbon fiber?

http://www.spraykings.com/product.ph...d203f92885232d

someone else here used it on there wing but im skeptical. i dont want to ruin my carbon. i want to strip the sides of my wing and re-clear the whole thing. this seems too good to be true if it really does what it says. your thoughts please

i know, im scared to get it, burn a hole in the fiber and be screwed. i also dont feel like spending 20+ hours sanding this thing in my basement if i dont have to.

The paint stripper is made with some chemical that can strip the resin off of the carbon fiber.

I did mine myself and it turned out great. But I took the whole spoiler apart and sanded it and put blind rivets back into it.

IMO thats the only way it should be done.

Im going to start doing this for members. I just havent decided on a price yet. If you are interested just pm me and I can send you pictures and everything.

methylene chloride is in most paint strippers and its a paint thinner that will eat away the resin. So no its not safe on our spoilers!!
