Taking paint off ls6 intake?

I just painted my ls6 intake and it didnt turn out well. So im going to retry it. Just wondering whats the safest and quickest way to take paint off a plastic intake besides sanding? any help is appreciated.

Brake fluid and elbow grease. Be better of sanding though really.

It may discolor it by making it a lighter color....but you're re-painting it so who cares. :p

Well I sanded the intake back down what a PITA. How is everyone getting in the crevices? I feel somewhat accomplished getting the casting marks off tho

Brake fluid won't hurt the plastic, but might discolor it as mentioned before...I've used it to remove paint off plastic bumpers. It will get the paint out of the crevices with a little light scraping
