Removing paint

[grantfk10]

As above, I've aquired a pair of Zender sideskirts that have some ridculous burgundy paint on them, whats the best way of stripping them? And should I leave them without paint, re-paint in black, or do them Brilliantrot to match my touring?

I wouldn't bother stripping the paint.

I'd scotch them up, primer, paint and laquer.

Depends what the paint on them is like. Any cracks? If so you'll have to take it all the way back. If the paint on them is really neat then painting over the top should cause any probs and it will save you alot of hassle.
If you do strip the paint Nitromours and then sandpaper is what I'd go for

Nitromours will damage the plastic side skirts.

wat paint will you be using?

[maxfield]

I've never known Nitromoors to damage plastic.

go put a blob on your rear lights and leave it for an hour or so

Thanks for the correction bazza I'm sure it would be fine as long as you only used it to remove the majority of the paint and then rubbed back what was left. Therefore not damaging the plastic?
