i am really wondering if there's a safe way to remove paint from plastic. the previous owner of my 10AE painted the glovebox door and the center console lid white. i want to take the paint off and keep the original finish of the material(without ruining the padded plastic). other parts were painted as well but they were sanded. so no going back there, i'm just going to replace them. thanks in advance for any help!

 

Only product I have ever heard of is the chameleon paint remover, it is made for model hobbyists to safely remove paint from plastics without having to sand or scrubb.

Only other options is to just wetsand it and repaint.

If it was the 93 panels, soaking it in purple power for 6-8 hours and it peels right off without hurting the plastic, but it doesn't do **** to paint.

 

chameleon paint remover...maybe that would work. i'll have to look it up.
