Default Re: Safely remove old paint from plastic.

Steve: Wish I knew. Best guess is enamel. The whole assy was removed from a pace car in 1983, and the car had already had a repaint, but by the time I got to it, there were bubbles coming through, so the paint was not brand new. Would guess 5 or 6 years old.

The car didn't have the correct air cleaner, and the owner didn't care about the flapper. I traded him the labor on changing points and plugs for the whole assy, complete with the solenoid. Although epoxy was around in the 70's, I really don't think it was a high end job. Most of the quickie paint shops around here used enamel in the late 70's.

Will pick up some Super Clean and give it a go. Sad thing is the two bottles were side by side at the parts store, and I bought this stuff to save a dollar.
