why do u want to remove it?
if it to respray it then u dont have to just sand it back so that it gives the next coat a good key to grab onto

I'll second that - had a little leak on my K10 brake fluid distributor thingy, stripped a load of the paint off the bottom of the bay.

NOT a good idea to use that though. Unless the paint is in really bad condition you dont need to remove it. Often its better not to as youll need a special plastic primer to get the new paint to bond to.

yes just rough the old paint up as it weill act as a key for the new paint to bond to. DONT whatever u do use paint strippers on it

unless u fancy sealing it afterwards at more cost.

simply sand back the laquer etc and get it smooth with 1200 at the end and all will be fine to respray
