Tiggie Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 heat gun works well but be careful of using too much heat and warping the plastic. be careful of nitromorse or other paint strippers as they can melt the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megawatt Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Don,t use a heat gun on plastic. Use several grades of wet and dry with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
