Default Taking paint off ls6 intake?

So I just got done painting my ls6 intake and it didnt turn out the way I wanted to, so im going to strip the paint off and redo it. My ? Is whats the easiest and safest way to take the paint off besides sanding? Keep in mind its a plastic intake. Thanks for any help

why not just sand the imperfections, if any, and paint over? sounds like alot of work to strip all the paint off an intake, just to paint over it again

The primer I used is reacting with the paint on it and wont dry correctly.

Actually it isn't plastic. Its nylon. Take it to a powdercoater and they'll media blast it and powdercoat it for like 60 bucks.
