Removing paint off exterior plastic's

[- Fiona -]

Hello

Recently purchased a 172 which has silver exterior plastics (upper and lower grille, fog light surrounds, bullets and rear bumper strip). Seems the previous owner had a red/silver theme going on. Some parts are already peeling (lower grill and bullets) but the other bits look like they've be professionally sprayed. Either way i want it off and returned to original :dead:

My first though was to sand it all off... but would white spirit do the trick or would that also damage the plastic?

Any advice would be greatly taken

soda blasting.

Blast it with an air line, you may get quite a lot of it off that way if it's not that well prepped. Try that before you go sanding things etc.

Take it to the polak hand car wash and tell them you want the paint off. They'll blast it off in no time.
