Plastic-safe paint stripper?

[Crazy Jayhawk]

Is there such a thing as paint stripper that won't destroy plastic? I painted my case and the front panel turned out rather badly. I want to strip the paint off and redo it, but I don't want to destroy the panel in the process.

Thanks in advance. :)

I don't think such a thing exists. Why not just lightly sand it with 300 Grit and repaint?

I'm with Wombat. Get some 300 grit paper, and sand it a bit to rough it up, then get some finer 800 grit paper to take out large holes that were made by the 300 grit.

Wipe it down with a slightly damp LINTLESS rag or towel (Can't leave lint!), let it dry, and repaint. You shouldn't need primer.

(You may have to sand the edges, where 2 panels meet, I.E., where the side panel touches the top panel, so that the paint isn't thick enough to press the 2 surfaces together, which would make them eventually fuse together.)

if you didnt sand it real good before you painted you can just take some laquer thinner and keep wiping it and it will come off rather quick.It might dull the plastic but if your painting again it wont matter

Thanks, I'll try the lacquer thinner. :)
