whats the best way of stripping paint and filler off a bumper to get it back to the grey plastic?
is it just good ol Hombase paint stripper or is there a better way? |

Paint stripper may damage the surface, you'll be better sanding it off.

if you do deside to sand the bumper back to bare plastic finish it off with a finer grade sand paper, otherwise when you reprime it the plasitc will furr up. as said already paint stripper is a no no on plastic. | |
