Good article Mike. One thing I would add.....if you use chemical stripper, especially on fiberglass, be sure to wash THOROUGHLY with warm soapy water after to get all residue off. That stuff will seep into the pores and eventually pop back out from under the fresh paint if you do not. I've also found that scuffing the original paint first with some 180 paper helps the stripper penetrate the surface better.
