He used wood filler and some bondo or something similar.

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.
