Thanks Brian, That may be my only option – I was hoping to get to Easy Street, but sometimes there is no on ramp!
Easy off works fine on Gel coat, but I wouldn’t try it with paint on paint.

Then 800 wet sandpaper & compound with a polisher to restore the finish. Or: Easy Off Oven cleaner was used to remove painted name and hailing port from our transom. There was a shadow remaining from 'sun bleach' vs shaded that has since been decreased with subsequent surface polishing. Have not tried either. My boat had vinyl lettering on both quarters and the transom when I bought her and I removed it all with a hair drier and a plastic putty knife. Good luck.

Does anyone know an easy way to remove paint from Awlgrip? Bill Coleman C&C 39 Erie, PA
