Default How do I strip paint off of my si lip?

I dont want to sand and I'm not planning on repainting it. I bought a new lip from honda, unfornutally it comes painted in either fbp, ebp, or mr so I have to strip it some how with out scratching the lip. What are my options?


thanks

sanding it is the only way i know of. are you trying to get it down to the bare unpainted plastic? why not just sand it and paint it with duplicolor black bumper paint?

There is a paint stripper I found at a local parts store that will strip the paint off Urethan e and such and not hurt the plastic.

why dont you just scuff up the paint and spray over it? Scuff it up with a 3M red pad, prime it and paint it.
