Getting Paint Off of Plastic?

[UncleMike]

Plastic bag will keep the stuff from drying too.

No damage to the plastic so far? Does it eat the original Suzuki paint too?

Some of it has been on there for nearly 48 hours now, and no damage at all. From what I can see, it looks like it's actually conditioning it.

Haven't tested it on Suzuki paint.

he said earlier that he let fluid set for 24 hrs in the inside and it did no damage. I dont think the palstic was originally painted..least that was my understanding. He said the tank was the same blue as the blue in the molded plastic already.

That's correct. It's the color-impregnated plastic.

this doesn't seem to be working for me, anyone got something else? I've tried commercial grade easy-off for cold ovens (used as directed and left over night). I did the dot-3, both scrubbed right away and left over night. I've also sanded and it took 3 hours to get a 6 inch square piece with the paint off, and that doesn't include the sanding I'll have to do to remove the mess the initial sanding left.


I called the local auto paint place to price out just a media blast and they said it would be $150. I really don't have that kinda loot but I'm running out of options.


ideas?


thanks

Not sure what to tell you. It's really working great for me. Onto the side covers now. Soak a towel and lay it right on the paint surface. Come back a day later and if you kept it wet the paint should fall right off.

I had the front of my car painted by insurance because the pick up in front blew a wheel cylinder coming down a mountain pass..
I was considering attempting it on the triumph but the risk is too great Ill just hand sand .. And sand and sand and sand... Sand and so on.
