Auto body repair & detailing: Paint Stripping Plastic Parts, proper eye protection, fender flares


Question
I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and i need to strip the paint from the fender flares, which are plastic parts, and i just need to know an easy way to strip the paint off without hurting the plastic??

Answer
Hi John, You can have them plastic bead blasted- You can sand the paint off , or you can use a paint stripper to remove the paint ,be sure to neutralize the stripper with water...care must be taken with all three methods- Try a small area first to get comfortable with the way it works,, Wear plastic gloves and proper eye protection is also a must............Hope this helps you out .....Kim
