Removing the old coat of paint
If you are intent on completely removing the old coat of paint, oven-cleaners are sometimes a good choice. Products such as "Easy-Off" oven cleaner tend to be fairly effective at removing old paint and not damaging the plastic shell. I would urge caution though and test a small area prior to doing the whole body. In a well ventilated area, spray the plastic body with a liberal amount of Easy-Off (the traditional standard version) and let sit for 24 hours. Then, take the body and place under warm tap water. Scrub with a soft toothbrush and the paint should come off fairly easily. I've found that for thick coats or multiple layers, it helps to repeat this process a couple of times. What's left is a really clean body. Incidentally, you should wear latex gloves during these procedures.
