Default Need help: Paint stripper safe for plastic?

I just picked up a used 99-00 Si front grill and the previous owner must have had the front end resprayed because the mesh grill area is gloss black and I know it should be flat black. I want to strip the paint off but leave the plastic grill raw like OEM yet I'm worried the plastic will be marred by the stripper.

I found this, SEM Bumper Stripper, that might work but was wondering if anyone here has used it and liked the end results. Would I be forced to repaint the mesh grill flat black?

Also, I want to spray my side skirts so they look fresh and new. I found this Bumper trim paint with a Honda specific code. Anyone use it?

Never used that bumper stuff. But SEM makes some real quality product.

^very true. SEM is all good stuff. You won't find another aerosol brand in any of our supply cabinets.
