Re: Sandblasting Plastic?
On most plastics oven cleaner can be used to remove paint without damage to the plastic. I used to use this on model cars, and used it when I tried to paint my air cleaner housing myself.
* I would recommend trying it on the backside of the part first to make sure it has no adverse effects!
