Good day, Is there any paint stripper for plastics? I have a rear bar here in my garage and I wanted to strip all the paint. The old paint has a spiderweb like cracks all over, any suggestion on how to strip it off easly? Thanks

sand paper?

that's not easy...think againlol

try caustic soda or brake fluid or you could even go to an auto paint supply shop and see if they have anything?

Been there, done that . . .
Paint strippers will eat into the plastic and make it very rough indeed.
Wet and dry paper is the go, with plenty of elbow grease and patience - allow a full working day to strip a whole bumper ready to paint.
Start off with 120 grade, before you get down to the plastic swap to 800 grade.
The plastic is very easy to gauge - it is much softer than the paint.
Use plastic primer on the bare plastic, then topcoat with suitable paint - acrylic needs a flexing agent added to it, other paint types may need the same.

Sand blasting by an experienced person may be an option too.

you can buy a specific paint stripper for plastic most automotive paint suppliers (not autobahn or supa cheap) should carry it or should be able to get it in for you....

Nice, thanks.

To all of you guys, thanks heaps.

Paint stripper for plastic bumpers? Gosh, I wish I had known that a year ago! LOL
What harm does it do to the plastic, if any?

Or there is soda blasting. Nobody in Canberra does it, but there are a few in Victoria. Soda blasting works by the impact of soda fired at high speed. This eats the paint but will not eat plastic, glass, steel, ally or even material. A magic process.

from what i have done it doesn't damage the bar..

I will keep that in mind - the plastic specific paint stripper - for next time I do a bumper. Sounds a lot easier than the elbow grease option! lol
