If the Gremlin bumper 
filler is rubbery like the 
Hornets there is a special 
paint stripper used on 
modern bumpers that will 
not damage it. I have used 
it in the past but can't 
remember the name. A body 
shop  supply store should 
be able to help you. But I 
suggest you test it on a 
spot that does not show. 
Also there is a special 
primer. For the finish 
paint you will need to add 
Mortons Impact 200 to the 
paint to make it flexible 
or it will crack and fall 
off. The paint on my 
yellow 74 Hornet fillers 
is 29 years old and is 
still in nice shape.
