removing paint from fenders?

[hippyplz]

I picked up a 97 ktm jr that's in great shape, except the po painted it red. any thoughts on removing it without damaging the fenders?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170222/6c33f99a0eb9c4f58d5e1a743805ccde.jpg

I heard (haven't had to try it yet) that airstripper works. Try a pressure washer first tho

I've used paint stripper with success. I think the key is not to let it soak long, as it seems to soften the plastic. Last time I stripped a set of painted plastics, I let stripper set for 60 seconds and used pressure washer. It may take a few attempts to get it all off.

I used this on my Tri-z fenders with no issues. Picked up from a local auto parts store. I believe they have different types, read the cans 1 should say plastic safe.

I've also head many times to use brake fluid. Should eat up the paint and wont hurt the plastic. I've never tried this personally but i have seen it spilled on motorcycle fender and it takes the paint off.

We have used dads paint stripper many times just use rubber gloves a old paint brush and garden hose to wash it off between coats. Just brush it on and keep going back over all the spots till it wrinkles up and wipe off then hose it off and reapply until all the paints gone. We haven't ever hurt any plastic doing it that way

paint stripper...it dont hurt trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro. follow up with purple power. brake fuild will do it also with steel wool but takes forever. These plastics were stripped on both bikes.

i use kleen strip in air-sole can...you get it on your skin you will learn what acid on your skin feels like...but it works as you can see.

I've had great luck with aircraft stripper, hasn't bothered plastic yet for me.
