Soaked it for a week in a pvc tube filled with Purple Power.

Good news: didn't harm the plastic.
Bad news: didn't harm the paint, other than making it maybe 10% softer. Still won't come off easily, other than where the paint is really really thin.

Any chance the Castrol Super Clean is stronger?
Hate to start using really strong stuff without knowing whether it may harm the plastic. Pretty sure I won't find another one of these cheap.

Castrol Super Clean is what I use, full strength. After soaking a day or so, I use an old toothbrush to remove the losse paint and let the liquid get further under the remaining paint. What kind of paint is on the part?
