We have a 1969 Chevy Corvette and we're in the process of restoring it. What is the best way to remove paint from the body? It is fiberglass. I've heard of people media blasting, sanding, stripping, etc. Whats the best and SAFEST way to remove paint from this fiberglass body? Another quick question, what color is the raw fiberglass on these cars? also if any of you have any pictures of good information that we could use to help us along the way we would really appreciate it.
what about soda blasting?
 
I found a site you may want to check out for all your Corvette questions. www.ncrs.org (National Corvette Restoration Society). They have over 300,000 questions that have been asked. They can be viewed in the technical discussion forum. As for the color of the glass, from what I remember from the salvage yards, it's a yellowish-brown.
 
The raw fiberglass is cream colored and sanding is the best way to remove it.
