Default Re: Safely remove old paint from plastic.

I personally would use plastic media at low pressure. A soak in power purple/castrol super clean would work to. See some of NJSteve's posts for the power purple insight.

Yes, the Purple Stuff degreaser will wash that overspray away in a matter of minutes. It doesn't hurt the plastic either. It is what all the plastic model guys use to remove old paint. It breaks the bond between the paint and the plastic surface and the paint just falls off in flakes. It is better than Easyoff oven cleaner as it does not have any propellants that can craze the plastic.
