Removing old paint off plastic

[Dell'Orto]

Now I'm slowly re-assembling my car, and the previous munters primered the whole thing and weren't particularly careful with masking parts off.
Main issue I have is with the plastic vents on the C pillars, they've got a bit of overspray on the edges and basically it looks pretty shithouse against the paint.
I've tried wax and grease remover to not much avail....is there anything else anyone has used that works?

thinners

thinners

i wouldnt use thinners on plastic, doesnt tend to be a good combination unless u dont want said plastic part

try a bit of cutting compound see if that can get it?
prepsol could do the job as well maybe?

Cutting compound, even jif. Thinners will melt your plastic trim. Meths is pretty mild but it might remove the colour from the plastic. Just use cutting compound.

paint stripper will work but not sure what it will do to your plastic.

[Dell'Orto]

Yeah I didn't think thinners would be the best bet, trying to find these vents in good nick isnt that easy these days.
Might give jif a crack and see how that goes.

test thinners on a piece u wont see- ive used it on plastic to take off overspray heaps with no real problems just wipe it straight off

can you not scuff up the plastic bits with a bit of sandpaper and paint them the required colour?

yea some real fine sandpaper like 1000 will do it wont even notice

lmao you use thinners on a rag it will only melt the plastic if u leave the rag on it
i clean down dashs just about every day fom over spray and ive never had a problem

Paint, especially rattle can stuff, cracks off after a while...not cutey cutey
A mate who used to be a painter came over today and said to try the cutting compound method. Worked perfectly!! Great success
