I assume you plan to repaint it? If so, a normal paint prep job, sanding, sanding and more sanding is all you need to do.

if you trust the previous prep work. just sand it down with 320 first to get it to look dull then sand it with 600 and you should be ready for your base coat of whatever color you want

Use aircraft remover take it off. Read about polishing rims. Same concept just your taking the paint off the fairing instead of the polishin.

i dont think aircraft stripper on plastic is a good idea. just sand so its nice and smooth. that aircraft stripper might eat up all your fairings, try it out on some plastic first and see what happens

ARE U F*CKIN SERIOUS? AIRCRAFT STRIPPER? lmag maybe u need to step away from the fairings and call a prof. if u use the stripper ur gonna eat right threw ur fairings and then ull be replacing them. 320 grit? ur kiddin right? streetinsanity get about 800 grit, then move to 1000, 1500, 2000 grit. u dont want to scratch the hell outta ur fairings u just want to take the clear coat off then go back wit some primer to cover the blue until u get it painted. trust me if u want to replace ur fairings cuz of holes from the stripper go ahead, and 320 is to rough. ur not sandin metal here your sanding plastic.

How about Carb Cleaner? That stuff takes the paint right off, i don't know the side effects of doing this, any experts?
