Whats a good method to strip spray bomb paint of a decent 71 Charger Plastic Grille?
I think some shops use Walnut shells to blast with?
Thansk in advance!

The oven cleaner worked great on the test grille and washed away with hot water.
Will try to post some pics today.

I learned the hard way about 20 years ago, sprayed oven cleaner on a 71 Cuda grille to remove the argent. I left it to soak for a while and came back to find that It had melted the grille in multiple areas, it was a disaster.
Actual example for you right there! Like everything else, probably no where near as strong as it was back then. I remember when aircraft paint stripper felt like it was melting your skin off, now it barely even burns.
