They were originally blue and I want to dye them black. The problem is they've already been dyed (or painted) once and now the paint is peeling up. Is there any safe way to remove the old paint without harming the texture of the plastic? 1970 Challenger 1973 Satellite 400 1974 Barracuda 1988 D-150 (LE-150) SWB 2010 Crew cab Hemi Ram 2019 Crew cab Hemi Ram

If that doesn't work you can step it up with gritty hand cleaner or other household items. Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".

Id try the pressure washer having care of not holding it too close, then wash the parts with soap and water and a brush, and then... try wiping them with thinner....if there is paint that still sticks on there and wont come out....it wont come out anyway, so just leave it there....trreat the panel with plastic paint adhesion promoter (ppg sells it) and then do a rattle can paint job with paint specially formulated for bonding to plastic.

But SEM is a good product, I have done all the interior panels in a car with it and it looks good, thin coats though. 1971 Hemi Cuda 2005 SRT-10 Regular Cab Flame Red. 12.771 @ 109.67<---TIME SLIP--Video
