Side mirror paint strip-- restore 92 part
We all know that the 1992 Civic side mirrors were not body color paint matched-- they were factory black plastic.
I need to replace my side mirror and I had the original 92 ones. I prefer to not have painted side mirrors but they are extremely difficult to find (especially in power... only available on 92 Si). What is the best method of stripping paint from a side mirror? I picked up a side mirror in good condition from a junkyard, with original MR paint on it. Any suggestions for stripping it would be welcome.
Thanks!

Vapour blasting would do it.
Vapour Blasting plastics
A lot of motorcycle guys use it, more so on carbs, but it looks like it works very nicely on plastics.
