I recently bought a crx and the previous owner had a paint job done. but when he got it painted, he didnt mask off the side moldings, or any of the grey plastic parts on the bumper. I have tried a couple things to remove the paint but no luck. any ideas???

 

bump
anyone?

 

oven cleaner spray that **** on and wait abit and wipe it off.... no more paint
wont damage the plasic either. just dont get it on the rest of the paint, who knows what could happen.

 

i removed my side mouldings and used an orbital sander to remove all the paint, as well as all the small dings and scratches.

for the bumpers, i masked the mouldings and used sandpaper by hand, first 150 grit to remove several layers of paint/clear and then used 320 to remove the prime, and finish with lighter grits, and then finish up with peanut butter.

this is the "hard way"

i didn't wanna take the chance that the plastic would melt or swell from using paint stripper.

 

alright, thanks! yeah i think im going to try the sand paper way too.
