Can anyone confirm the material theyre made from. Im not thrilled with how mine came out after respraying it and would like to strip it but dont want to use paper and wanted to know if chemical stripper would harm the plate. I dont want to lose that to an idiotic mistake!

TIA!

I wonder if brake fluid has changed , I tried using some recently to remove engine paint off a manifold and it didn't work very well. I'd try nail polish remover or just go straight to acetone ???

I was just looking for opinions to see if stripper is OK. I dont want to watch it melt before my eyes.

It's not plastic , but I'm not sure if it's alum or steel since I have yet to commit that crime .
