Hey Dan, good to see you back and still spitting.
Thanks to everyone for all the tips.
I just got in from the garage, brushed brake fluid onto the grill. So far, no
reaction on the paint. I guess I'm very impatient. I'll let it sit over night,
and yes, I only applied it on a small area. If all fails, I'll be buying some
stripper from the hobby store. The saga continues.
Cheers
Liv

Subject: Re: stripping a plastic grill
Most plastics can be stripped by brake fluid safely and is what many
modelers use themselves. Not ALL will be compatible though so test in an
unseen spot.
Model paint manufacturers also have their own versions, but you're going
to find them very very very expensive to use on a grill since they are
meant to be used on a body shell of a model car, plane, or railroad item.
Tamiya, Floquil, and Scalecoat are amongst some of the more popular model
paint lines.
