When I restore ABS based grilles for customers, to remove argent, factory silver/gray/black based paints, I use laquer thinner, and while laquer thinner will destroy a grille if done improperly, it can be used, I use clean white rags soaked in laquer thinner, the key is to work the entire grille removing a small amount of argent/silver/paint, once you get down to the base plastic, you need to work quickly rubbing the area, and allowing it to dry, sometimes it's even best to let the grille dry out for several days as laquer thinner can soften the plastic, argent is perhaps the worst to remove, don't be in a rush to strip it, if you use this method, and use white clean rags, as colored rags with leach their color into the plastic, and it will bite you later at repaint...
I generally avoid blasting a grille with either fine glass bead or soda/talc as it destroys or softens any detail moulded in the plastic...
I would also avoid any ideas of using chemical paint strippers, oven cleaners, brake fluid, etc, to remove any finish...
