Default RE: paint removal..?


ORIGINAL: crxdabeast

hey guys i have the new style wrx body and it came prepainted.... i really dont like the subaru blue and i dont feel like waiting a month and a half to get a replacement body because they are on back order.... so is there any easy and safe way to remove the factory paint without damaging the lexan.....? thx
I hope somebody helps, I am in the same boat.

I have tried using nail polish remover with a very mild wet and dry sandpaper, like 2400 grit. It takes forever and the results are only mediocre. It's also hard to get in the seams. I have heard that acetone will do it, not sure where to get it or how dangerous it is.
