Whats a safe gentle stripper to use that won't alter or crack the plastic of an zenki se lip? I just used spray paint, and I want to get to bare plastic again so I can repaint.

Thanks for any info

dont take my word for it because i dont know how "safe" it is or if its an overkill.. but i would try aircraft remover.. that usually works wonders for me.. but i've only used it on metal so like i said.. i dont know ish, just a suggestion. gl

just sand it smooth, primer, then paint.

1 sand down the lip
2 use pre-paint
3 use a tack cloth
4 primer
5 wet sand
6 repeat steps 2,and,3
7 paint it whatever color

aircraft remover is only good for metal lol.

unless you want melted plastic.

Go to a good body shop supply and get bumper stripper...it will not melt the lip.

Yea might try that...see I was trying to get to bare plastic again cause dome parts the paint didn't stick so well. Also when ever I had scrapped my lip, I use to just touch up with the can before going out or meets, events, etc. So sanding to get smooth would take a while.

Thanks for suggestions
