Traded for a 1985 Suzuki LT250 with thick green paint that's peeling and cracking.

Want to remove all the the paint and start fresh.

Anyone know of something that's effective and won't hurt the plastic.

Appears to have multiple coats.

Any help will be appreciated...

i use dollar store sink/dishes green scouring pad rectangle fuzzy things to sand it down/ then try to hide the bad looking spots with a darker color (if you look close you see the imperfections)

I like to wrap this type of plastic around everything

I use a piece of plastic tied on by a rope overtop of a table like this as a paint table for old rusty parts that get taken off of the machines

(sand all the rust off with the scouring pads/sometimes use the air tool/ wire spinny wheel dremel tool

(but if the part looks super rusty idk if the dremel will put holes in it.

You can try oven cleaner, sometimes that will bubble the paint but shouldn't hurt the plastic.  If you can get it to bubble a little, a pressure washer will do the hard work.

Lots of times on paint that is that badly done, you'll get the paint off only to find that they sanded it with 36 grit and ruined the plastic.

      I recently read an article about restoring or at least improving the looks of faded and discolored plastic body parts. In the article it suggested using a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and paint thinner. You mix it up and apply it with a brush or rag to rub it in and remove the oxidation. I curious to find out if anyone has had experience with doing this and what was their short/long term results of doing so. I would hate to try it and find out that a few weeks/months down the road my plastic body parts self destruct.

      Bought 4 wheeler for kids. Used to run and soon as it was put in gear it died. I have put new carburater, new plug and battery. The neutral light won't come on. I replaced the solenoid, then the positive battery cable and today put new relay assembly on. Still no neutral light. Not getting any juice and I don't know why.
