does anyone know a good method for stripping paint off plastic? I have a good grille at home, its just had heaps of coats of paint on it and I would like to strip and repaint it. I am assuming that paint stripper will damage the plastic?
any ideas?

Model hobby shops sell plastic paunt stripper, dont think it will be cheep for large quantity.
Try a auto paint supplier.

You can buy Paint stripper thats purely designed to remove paint from plastics like bumper bars etc, it mainly comes in aerosol form, I've used a SEM brand with good success in the past.

Definately should be available at most Auto Paint supply shops. around $15-20 a large can.
