    Removing paint from plastics?

    Does anyone know of a chemical stripper (or any stripper) that will strip paint off of plastic but won't damage the plastic in anyway? The PO painted my 200e camo and I'd like it to be red again...

    Here's the thread I started to do the same to a klt rear fender. Do yourself a favor and find the actual stripper they mention in the thread. I did the oven cleaner and it took multiple applications and still did not take it all off. Don't be surprised what scratches and gauges you find underneath the paint when you get it off. Reminds me, I need to finish what I started at some point. Just got tired of sanding and bought more projects (trikes) in the mean time.

    Brake fluid. Let it soak for a while and it will peel the paint off and leave the plastice looking good
