If your stripping them for painting you wud be better to rub them down with some wet and dry sand paper, not sure about paintstripper tho, dont use nitromorse paint stripper or something simular it will probly melt the plastic

You wont find a decent paint stripper for plastic's and GRP's


Sand it down as said, Or it WILL melt and bubble
