celulose thinners is a better idea, warning though, anything like this may damage plastic.

i tried white spirit but that did nothing, im a bit worried about the thinners, but i'll give it a spot test before i do any large area!

Cheers guys

It depends on the type of plastic........as I know some just melt away....!

exactly - hence why i said this! White spirit btw has no effect on car paints.

nitromorse bit water in. i suppose it shud be ok if you
1) wipe over nitromorse

2) clean with white spirits on a rag.

will remove and do no damage.

The paintstripper stuff you use on wood? Its some strong stuff! Are you sure it won't cause any damage?

when i tint lights i use nail varnish remover to get the paint off, cant do no harm borowing some unless you have some yourself

Cellulose thinner!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will remove it, try it on a hidden bit of plastic first.
