Removing paint from plastic

**tecate kid** · 01-09-2009, 12:53 AM

I am trying to get the ugly blue and yellow paint (Michigan Wolverines) off my nice clean RED Tecate plastic. I tried to use a good pressure washer/ steamer and it worked somewhat, but I am affraid it may wreck the plastic or even break it. What can I use for a thinner so this stuff comes off easier? Any help would be appreciated.

BTW: I DID NOT paint these I bought them this way

goto a local auto paint store and get plastic part or bumper paint stripper, its formulated to strip paint off plastics without harming the underlying plastic.

Permatex spray gasket remover works very well. Doesn't harm anything plastic, and makes quick work of paint.

^^^^^^ I agree, the stuff for bumpers works good!, Never used it on a trike, but for cars, it is primo!

Ok thanks guys, I will have to pick some of that stuff up. Then I can have nice plastic on the T3 again.
