Default How to remove paint from interior pieces....

I recently bought a WS6 and the previous owner painted the interior pieces in the car and it just looks horrible Anyways, I was wondering before i go and just buy new pieces if theres any way to remove the paint from the pieces without damaging them, I've read oven cleaner or soaking them in brake fluid works but i figured i would get some input from you guys before i go and try anything,

Thanks for the help,
Billy

Unfortunately there is no way to get it off and preserve the stock finish underneath. Most of the plastic in the car is ABS or polypropylene and anything thats going to remove paint is going to, depending on the type of solvent, either A) melt and soften the plastic or B) whiten the surface.
