Removing paint from plastic mud flaps

Recommended Posts

I got a plastic mud flap kit in from Japan for my S12. They have had a real shoddy paint job on them.  Whats the best way to remove the paint and start again?

Can I use paint stripper, etch prime, then paint, or will the stripper damage the plastic?  They're OEM ones from the 80's.

 

Will a bead blaster work, or is that two aggressive?

 

I'll post a photo up soon if that will help.

 

Cheers,

Chris

 

Edit// just read the technical data for CRC strip-off and it says not recommended for plastics...

Plastic and paint stripper are not friends. 

If the brake fluid or oven cleaner won't work I can blast them for you. Pant and plastic are also not the best of mates so paint comes of plastic quite easy. 

The vapour blast will get the paint off and leave a Matt surface finish.
