Default Help with mexi painted plasitc trim

I bought a car and the previous owner painted all the vents and pretty much the interior with white paint. I need to know if theres anything I can buy at the house that would help remove it. The paint chips off but it take forever to get the whole job done

real bad idea, aircraft remover eats plastic! just get some paint stripper that is safe for plastic, read the labels.

yea, the aircraft remover will eat plastics. i would try laquer thinner, don't use too much though, it can warp plastic if its thin.
