Paint stripper
Did a little experiment last nite with some aircraft paint stripper on a spare ABS plastic fender I have. I've seen on here not to use it on the ABS, though curiosity got the better of me. So I applied about a half dollar size of the stuff to the fender and let it work for about 3-4 minutes, then wiped it off. It took the clear coat, paint and factory pin stripping right off. I then thoroughly flushed the area with water and wipe it down clean. There was no soften of the plastic what so ever. So all it now needs is light sanding and it's ready for primer and paint.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002
