Default Removing paint from urethane?

Is it very difficult to remove paint from urethane body kit parts? I want to buy some Wings West side skirts that have been painted white, and I want to strip all of the paint off of them so they'll go back to their original black color. Is there an easy way to do this other than sanding them? Paint stripper/thinner? Can it be scraped off easily? Thanks.

On my bottle of aircraft paint stripper it says its for metals only. I tried it anyway on my lip to remove the paint and it was weaksauce on the clear coat. I had to sand past the clear coat and use thinner to remove the paint. You gotta wetsand no matter what though to remove all the paint.
