MHR fairing paint removal

Does anyone know of the best way to safely remove the paint off the fibreglass fairing on the MHR. The paint on mine has cracked and bubbled, I suspect it has been repainted without removing the previous layer. At this stage I plan to sand the paint off by hand but that is a tedious process.

Why don't you use the tried and trusted method for the early MHRs and just go round a corner at anything approaching a decent corner speed and have the the fairing throw you off; that'll remove the paint, apparently.

Hi Geoff, that's what I think happened to the fairing in the past! I actually prefer the bike with no fairing but would like to finish off the job
regards

if you are asking about chemicals, don;t use any on f'glass. Sorry mate but you are stuck sanding, and make sure to seand off ALL original paint and primer
