Removing spray paint from plastics?
Anyone have any experience with removing paint from plastics ex: Headlights/Taillights without any major damage to the plastic lense. I've heard of some liquids but there's a risk of melting the lenses and others with water sanding but risk of scrating the lenses. What's your advise?

Adhesive remover? Meguiar's Plast X?
Safest way to go about it would be with Plast X . . Not sure if it would take out paint but it's worth a shot.
Adhesive remover shouldn't damage plastic and it's almost guaranteed to take out the paint.

+1 on Meguiar's I use them to clean the yellow effect of the headlights, I think they will work to take off the paint as well. Just be careful if you use the adhesive one to not get any on your bumper.
