    Look into oven cleaner. But don't try it until you have.

    I stripped mine with my da sander and 320 grit sandpaper. It didn't take very long at all.

    The paint stripper will probably eat into the plastic, put a little on the backside and see if it does.

    Brake fluid. They soaked the cowl on one of the Sunday car shows on spike

    Can't see that coming back to bite you in the A$$!

    Personally sandpaper and some good ole' elbow grease will usually do the trick. Not a fun job, but they generally aren't that bad.

    There is urethane bumper stripper that might work, but again I am hesitant in using chemical unless there aren't really any other options. Too often I have had chemicals come back and cause issues when painting the parts later so I am a bit gun shy on that. Good Luck!

    They actually spent some time on it, and showed how it worked. I guess I should point out I'm not actually endorsing it or that I've done it, and after my bumper fiasco i may side with trey on this one. Unless you can find more info on it

    I will agree that brake fluid does do a great job of removing paint. Just not sure how well paint ever sticks to that same item again!
