Has anyone had any success removing paint from Blast or XB body parts? I can't seem to find any info in the KV on it. I know that once it's removed I can polish small or medium scratches out, but how to start? I don't want to to anything that will fog the plastic beyond repair. The paint I need to remove is THICK!

HELP

To clarify, yes I know they come unpainted from the factory. The previous owner painted it

Me thinks you may be SOL since the substrate has most likely been scuff sanded prior to paint. Even if you found a substrate safe stripper, i doubt you'd ever have anything more than a mess on your hands. Your best bet is to re paint the parts to your liking.
