Default trying to strip a ford badge.

Has anybody stripped the silver Ford off a badge? I tried thinkers.but it softened up the plastic. Would nitromorse do it or would that soften the plastic to? It's the old type badge I'm trying it on.

Here's an idea for you young Cossie, try Mr Muscle foam oven cleaner, it appears to strip paint from plastic without harming the plastic, I would however respectfully suggest trying it on an item that has no value, just to test it in that precise application first you understand.

Sound's mad enough to work. I'll give it a shot. Got a few old badges as testers.

All this, just for the price of a misplaced letter E

Stanley knife blade, scrape the blue off the rear, repaint in colour of your choice.

I've got that bit done. It's the silver Ford lettering that I'm needing to get off now.
