removing paint from intake
that's what i figured but he said he didn't prep it at all. Said he just sprayed some paint over it so i was pondering stripping it off. Figured it would look darker and dirtier but would still be alright. If not i guess a gray paint would be easier to paint over.
Ive read about a blasting media that uses a type of baking soda which will not etch plastic or glass or anything for that matter and more or less just breaks down the adhesion propertys of paint itself .Not sure who makes or sales it ? They invinted it for the cleaning of the statue of liberty some years back because of its super thin cooper skin that they didnt want to hurt and actually read about it being used in the stripping an intire corvette a few years ago (WITHOUT TAPING ANYTHING OFF) Some neat **** IMO

you can't sand blast plastic the heat will melt it. you would have have to media blast it. then you run the risk of not getting all the media out of the intake and it going into the motor
That stripper-mixed with paint does tint the part especially if its porous and a light color, which the fast is both. You can get it all out of it but it will be messy and time consuming. If it was a smooth metal/aluminum panel i would agree with you. I know from experience that blasting it is the easiest and fastest way to do it. If it would make the OP feel safer use media to blast it that is alot easier on the material but will take you longer to achieve the same thing with sand, depending on the grain of course.
