All I want to do is change the color scheme. Technically I can just sand down the stock and respray but, then it would be too many layers and look "built up"...if you catch my drift. So, I'm looking at stripping the paint down and respraying, starting with primer. I have not worked with wood filler or bondo so, I don't know if the stripper will hurt it. I will be using citra-strip product from home depot.
Try Goof-Off from Home Depot. I know, I know...but it works. Stinks like hell, but it melts enamel and latex paints. I have used it on furniture, didn't harm the wood at all. Since you are re-painting, whatever you plan to strip with, still sand it first. Some paints strip easier when sanded before chemical stripping. I never used a citra-strip product, try it on a test spot and run with it. I think the worse that will happen is you may need to let it dry a few days in the A/C and then double prime to avoid discoloration.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
