Stripping paint from ABS plastic

talontsiawd · Feb 9, 2007

Ok, so i spent way to much on some paint made for stripping urathane bumpers. It's actually a great product. But for whatever reason, it attacks the plastic. Anyway, i have a good amount of paint parcially stripped. It's going to be damn near impossible to sand it out vs stripping. I would say i'd be investing around 10 hours sanding it. Anyone know of anything they know works for abs?

I know brake fluid is extremely popular for stripping paint from things like interior pieces but I don't know how it would fare on larger applications.

ive used brake cleaner to get overspray off my tires from when i painted them, that might work

Sems Bumper Stripper. Make sure it's the one that is safe for urathane. It doesn't work well for oem paint though, or any baked on paint. Works great on something that has been resprayed professionally, or especially not so professionally.
