Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone out there has experience with removing paint from plastic parts such as bumper bars?
I picked up an original plastic Clubsport bar out of the trader months back and it's been sitting gathering dust while I've tried figuring out how the hell I'm gonna get all the crazed paint off it without resorting to sanding and (fingering the surfaces as they say in the trade).
I rang around a few crash shops to see if they knew anything that I could use but they just suggested wet'n'dry and alot of elbow grease or buy another new bumper.
I know paint stripper would likely damage the plastic so I've ruled that out... but I was thinking brake fluid might do the job ???...it sells in plastic bottles so I dont think it would hurt... has anyone ever tried that ? maybe I should ring around a few brake joints and see if they'll soak my bar in one of their drums of old fluid ???
