    Can someone recommend safe products for paint removal from the oem m-tech 1 side skirts / valance ?

    Something that's safe on Urethane .

    What do you mean by "safe" exactly? Like wont melt the plastic or your hands?
    I've used "Kleen Strip" aircraft stripper(strong) on plastics with good results and no damage but you have to be careful.
    There is also a citrus kind as well that's milder and used for furniture.

      Jaspers. I used it for a wide variety. Although, I've never used it on plastic.
      Need a part? PM me.

        Ive never used any stripper on plastic that didn't eat the plastic a bit. Sandpaper and a d/a is always an option.

              I have a 17oz areosol I can sell you. Used it once on my spoiler before I gave up and decided to have it refinished professionally.

                    Thanks for suggestions, I'll see what I can find locally tomorrow.

                    I meant safe as in it won't eat/burn through the parts.

                      Looked at a bottle of this today, and doesn't look like it's safe on Urethane.

                        I'll look for SEM 39913 - BUMPER STRIPPER 17oz Areosol.

                        Eurospec - you gave up because it didn't work well or?

                          Simply gave up. There were more than two layers of paint and some cracks in the material below all this. Figured it would require too much elbow grease.

                            good timing... i need to strip a BBS airdam with a couple layers of crappy paint.

                            this might save me a day or 12.

                              When I would want to strip the paint off my model cars I would use easy off oven spray or soak them in brake fluid for a few hours.
                              I dont know how well it will work on the side skirts though.
