paint stripper for plasatic panels?
 

Hi All
Got a couple of very second hand, badly painted side panels for the VT500ED. Does anyone know of a paint stripper that works without adversely affecting the plastic.
Cheers Mal

Last time i tried Notromors on a Moto Guzzi sidepanel it melted the plastic, dont know if its the same for Jap plastic

brake fluid did a treat of a job on a 1" section of my sv1000 fairing panel but didn't take any plastic with it, just the paint :(

Wet and dry paper, possibly a power sander.

Thats what I'm doing at the moment, but the paint has been put on real thick and
staight on top of the old paint and decals.

very gentle use of a hot air gun remove the worse then wet and dry.

Brake fluid works a treat (thanks Paul). Jusy paint it on, leave it for an hour, then take it off with hot soapy water and a bit of wire wool.
