So i got a new carbon fiber trunk, but the person who had it before me had black paint all along the edges and i want to remove that black paint, any suggestions would help...here is what i have tried.

Goo Gone, 1000 grit sand paper.

and i am getting it sanded and re-clear coated after this paint is off. anything helps, thanks.

 

paint thinner?

 

would paint thinner take it off a surface?

 

i tired that and it didnt help it come off

 

Try 600 grit but be carefull not to go through the gel coat.
