My main entry door is faded and has to be repainted. Part of it still has full paint and varnish. Can I use a stripper on fiberglass? What kind?

This isn't the only answer, to be sure. I'd worry about the stripper idea. When I've done this, I lay the door on sawhorses, mask the glass, cover everything else with the thick blue paper towels and douse it with lacquer thinner. The towels keep it from pooling and help to hold a thin layer on the surface and keep it somewhat even. Spot check it, when the finish starts to lift, push your towels across the surface and about 80% of the finish will slide off. You can clean the rest by just rubbing with the thinner. Stinks pretty good. But you gotta love construction smells. Thinner, diesel, pipes, old coffee. Mmmmm.
don't forgt the one coming from the porta -potty.
