How to remove paint from plastic grill?

[sixpack_sid]

I am working on the front grill of my 68 Charger and the black plastic has red paint on it. Anyone know a safe way to remove the paint without harming the plastic?

Thanks for the replies!

I used Easy Off oven cleaner, yellow can, on the plastic grill for my 74 and it removed the paint without harming the plastic. I sprayed the grill and put it in a garbage bag over night. In the morning I rinsed it off with water and scrubbed it a bit with a brush. Works great! It didn't take it all off, so I repeated the process. Do a search for "oven cleaner" and you will see a few threads on it. I think any other method will remove some of the plastic.

Yup, I did the same thing with my '69 grille and it works like a charm

Good to know. Another product is soaking in Simple Green.

The Easy Off worked great!! 
Now that the black is clean, the silver looks dull and faded in spots. Has anyone painted the silver plastic on the grille? What kind of paint would be best to use? How do I prep the plastic surface?
Thanks for the help!

Have you checked out the Charger grille restoration database thread stickied at the top of this forum. I suspect all of these questions and more will be answered in there.

Since I was doing a complete fix and repaint, I walnut shell blasted the stubborn parts.  It took the previous owners crappy repaint off, but left quite a but of the factory paint on.

I have used Easy Off on many items simply to clean the grease off.  Engine and parts ... works great.
Be careful to buy the one that does NOT have lye in it.
Spry it on the engine, wait a but and wipe it off ... just like the oven.

I got it painted! I used SEM Black Trim and SEM Titanium Bumper paint. Thanks for the help!
