Remove paint from plastic

I was at the Flea market today and there was a black dreamcast there the guy wanted 16$ for it so I bought it. I am assuming that it is the Sega Sports model because thats the controller that came with it, however the person that had it before me thought it would be a good idea to paint it straight black. It is scratched and it bugs me so I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to remove paint from plastic without melting the plastic, Thanks.

  • Well I think that you should just sand it all down prime it and spray a new coat of black on it any other methods of removing the paint would remove the Sega Sports decal.
  • Ive been told goo gone works but have never tried this, so I cant say that it will work.
  • Simple green All Purpose Cleaner, Toothbrush, Elbow Grease

    Flat up Best way ever, I used it on 1000 points of Space Marines with no ill effects
  • I've never used this on a console or game but brake cleaner will take just about anything off. ( I will experiment when I have something I can use it on in the future )
  • i've got some airplane stripper that eats ALL paint off, unfortunately it might possibly eat plastic too,



    it is available at napa i'm pretty sure,
  • Hairspray. Doesn't work for everything but it does well on most of the carts that have paint or marker on them.
