Paint removal?
 
My Xt's body kit bits are all black plastic, but only the side panels are painted. I want to strip these down to bare black plastic, without damaging the plastic. What should I do?

Get some nitromors from Halfords, test an application on the inner surface of the pannel (if damage occurs dont use obviously). NOTE: RINCE THOROUGHLY AFTERWARDS. Stuff is a charm:thumbup1:

Used it to strip my bike in a single application (metal and not plastic tho obviously)

Thanks, that stuff did the job. It says not to use on plastics on the tin, but my one side panel had road rash on it, so I thought, how much worse could it get. It waorked great, and didnt mess the plastic up. :thumbup1:

Have you tried the cheapest solution of them all: brake-fluid?
Could do the trick, but not on all kinds of paint...
