Removing old paint from plastic bits...

Postby malc » Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:09 pm

Hey guys
who has a good technique for removing old paint on things like grills and headlight/tail light surrounds?
These bits on my rx3 had been painted badly at some stage in its life and I want to get the paint off to get them looking original again.
cheers

I would be inclined to call a car restoration place, see if theycan recommend a product or place, most trades people are pretty happy to pass on free advice lol
