It will. Just take your time, don't rush through it. Use good painters tape, like that green frog stuff, or that other one that is blue. If you don't, you'll get thousands of little hairline leaks. Check the weather of course. And most important, get plenty of before/after pics to share. :)
The method recommended.......works! I use an electric paint remover/heat gun. Use it on LOW setting and pay attention so as not to apply too much heat.
Thanks for sharing Bob
Since I don't have a heated garage, this seems like a job for this coming summer.

Well yes, a Springtime project.

When we purchased our used Casita..........well it looked like the first two pictures. Some folks, I could just never figure. After it was all said and done and with much tender love and care, it looked like the 3rd and 4th pictures. It can be done with enough patience and "elbow grease".

I hope you got a bargain on that to make up for your hours of work.

Purchased it for $6500, kept and used it for 12 years, and sold it for $12,500. I'd say so.
