What type of paint did you use?

What parts/surfaces did you paint?

I used a reg primer.....then i used a 1200 degree spray paint....i painted the battery cover, engine cover, the things that says ACURA on it(could be spark plug cover) and just some other little pieces.....

Any chemical that removes paint might eat away or disfigure the plastic.

If you just want to repaint, I would lightly sand the parts, wipe down, maybe apply some primer, then repaint.

Test anything you plan to do somewhere it is not noticeable first.

use nail polish remover--works great and does not fade the plastic or harm it---let me know how it comes--joe--onedayzpay
