    Paint stripper

    Going to be doing some work on my airdam. Does anybody know of a paint stripper that won't damage the plastic? I thought Jordan mentioned one before but I can't find the thread. Thanks.

        No clue! Its probably from when we used to refinish our wooden sail boat.

        Go to any hardware store/automotive place and try to buy some Aircraft Stripper.
        Make sure you use it outside.
        Let the chemicals do the work.

        I found scoring the top surface (brillo, stiff metal brush) then applying stripper works best. Dont rush it, the stripper will do its job.

        Good luck.

              then either apply the texture over again new... or make it a smooth valance.

                  I swear there are more red air dams kicking around than any other.

                  Sold it.
