haha, i guess you were talking to my friend about that last night...he was asking me if aircraft stripper would eat into plastic....

i guess you can try acetone, or you can try aircraft stripper on a small piece on the inside of a panel to see if it has any reactions....

you can also try that goof off stuff that they sell at home depot...

using these concentrated acids, you probably shouldn't leave it on there too long though.

any paint stripper will eat plastic, acetone, or anything else will work very slow, and discolor the plastic.

your only real option is a new console.

Spray paint is oil based 95% of the time, and Goof Off won't do ****...it only works on water based products...
